I think Spike's development was handled poorly in that it just seemed to happen all of a sudden. We had a couple of seasons full of monotonous episodes where poor little Spike needed help to feel good about himself, then in the most recent seasons he became more mature and more noble. For good character development such a transition should be more gradual, I think.
