Yes, Wilson is a very complex character and that's a good thing. Would we really be interested in him if he were Mr Nice Guy? But in many ways he is hardly better at the 'supportive' sort of thing than House. Yes, he's almost always around, but instead of guiding and counseling he analyses, lectures and pontificates. He used to be different: in Season 1 he did a pretty good job getting Cameron to grow up and he was a lot less irritating.
A lot of H/W shippers have idealised that friendship without seeing the things that you see. That's a bit dangerous, and they're in for the same kind of fall that the H/C shippers just went through. Yes, Wilson knows House really well, but as often as not what he does is not beneficial to House. This is a show that thrives off misery, so if Wilson replaces Cuddy, he'll be the one to provide the misery that the show throws House's way.
I have read most of the episode discussion on HHoW - it's one of the few havens of sanity in a stormy shipper ocean. I always find blacktop's reviews very insightful and thoughtful, as also Namaste's short but pithy comments. They help me get a more objective and less emotional perspective on the show.
