And really with even people like Joss snarking on her in the Firefly commentaries ("bitter like a seven year tv star"), it's like at least she was there and working her ass off for seven years to make the show as good as it could be. Joss left to pursue a new venture with Firefly in season 6 so I absolutely believe him when he says that all the writers were burnt out and ready for the show to end by season 7. (Drew Goddard also said it was a confusing time because he came in all excited to work on the show and half the time the other writers weren't even present and there was no one really running things in the writers room).
Joss was just lucky that he could go do new things and take a break from the show with someone to fill in for him, Sarah had no option but to be on set every day for 15+ hours for 7 years. Yet still it's mostly Sarah alone that gets crap thrown at her for wanting to branch out and not play Buffy forever, as if it was just her personally that decided to end the show
