I am a DE fan but ugh it always sucks when your ship doesnt work out. Ive been in that boat and its not fun.
I love that SE got some great scene in the finale though! Even though they are not what you guys want I think that they were significant! I mean, the last person he saw as he was leaving the earth was Elena and their moment was totally reflective of the very first time they met. Elena writing in her journal in the cemetery was also a nice little throw back.
Im devastated over Stefan's death too though I didnt want him to be the one to go.
I also felt they could have been a bit more neutral to all the shippers and not made some of the finale moments so cheesey....
At least you guys can have some sort of relief knowing that KW was a big SE fan and intended to put them back together eventually, before knowing that Nina was leaving. I just read that in an interview.
