Well, I didn't quite expect a smooth ending, and am OK with it. Negima basically took too much expansion throughout the manga, and unless you take 15 chapters to end up each girl's future, it will turn into an ending of the sort.
In Love Hina's case, the author had the romantc relationship established very early, so the ending was better. However, Negima became much more battle-centered after a hundred of chapters.
The ending itself was more done in order to "stop" the story, and not to "conclude" it, IMO. It was basically made so everyone had their own path and have split themselves.
