He cancelled Generation X with the reasoning "We don't need it. We have Ultimate X-Men now."
He also gave X-Force over to a new writer who terminated the series, disbanded the team, (No big loss for the Liefeld characters like Shatterstar and Feral. But sucked ass for the New Mutant characters), and relaunched the title as X-Statix. Now a comedy team of superstar celebrity mutants.
Not comedy as in silly (Like GLA), Character based comedy (Like JLI), or comedy as in satirizing the superhero genre. It was the "Ironic" type of comedy that's not really funny to anyone. Instead of Cannonball and Warpath, we now had U-Go-Gurl (Get it? It's a play on a popular saying, GET IT? It's ironic, so IT'S FUNNY! EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT ACTUALLY IRONIC AT ALL!), Deadgirl (She's dead! Get it? It"S FUNNY!") and worst of all... Doop.
Boy howdy did Nexodusrex nail that one! I typically never say I don't want something to be made because there's always someone else who's day will be made by it. But gods, I hated that group so badly I actually erased them from my memory! They should never be made. And they should never be acknowledged in fiction again, unless it's to kill them.
I have to disagree. Re-read the first arc of the team and it is pretty morose.
The team leader is a rat who is using the rest of team to beef up his image and stab the rest in the back. Like Suicide Squad, any member can die at any time. If you were a fan of the first few years of The Authority or Invincible then I suggest you give it a try.
So SPOILER....

The Team Leader gets annilialated along with a handful of others. This leads to a drastic change in which characters have no choice but step up or die (ala Ash in Evil Dead
). In the meantime the team has to deal with the corporation running their daily routine and not in their best interests to stay alive.
Read the first four issues and then get back to me. The book was great. It went downhill later, but it had a constant change aspect to it that I see in the writings of Kirkman's books.
