Didn't he change the character's origin? The version that you seem to hold in such high esteem isn't the original. Does that not make Byrne a "whinner writer", like everyone else?
What you seem to be missing is CRISIS.
If DC does another Crisis and decides to hire Waid to retell Superman's origin then he's more than welcome to it, till that happens, MoS is the only origin that counts.
If the people doing the comics in the 60's and 70's hadn't decided to split Superman into two different characters and fill the myth up with 32 flavors of Kryptonite, multiple Kryptonians and all the other crap that watered down the concept, then there wouldn't have been any need for Crisis and MoS to happen.
According to Wolfman, he killed Supergirl to help make Superman the LAST Kryptonian, as it should have always been.
What's Waid doing by giving him God Vision? Turning him into the God he thinks he should have always been?
