I actually rather enjoyed parts of the Clone Saga when I was following comics. The part that is actually legitimately known as "Maximum Clonage" was deeply stupid, but much of what came before that was pretty good. Though the back and forth of which one was the real Peter got a little tiresome. I actually checked out of comics with the Onslaught absurdity a year or two later, while Ben was still Spider-Man (though they were already working on bringing Peter back on board by that point). I bought the graphic novel detailing Peter's full-time resumption of the red-and-blues so I'd get some resolution. I'm still on the fence about the wisdom of resurrecting Norman Osborn, though.
And I've never understood why the Marvel Editorial staff has so much of a problem with Mary Jane being Peter's wife, and why, if it is such an issue, they couldn't just get divorced like any other normal couple. That's the whole POINT of Spider-Man being Peter Parker under the mask--he's a superhero, but he's still got a normal human life to navigate as well. Seems to me, with the divorce rate at around 50%, that's a plot point a lot of people could relate to if they'd done it.
