I haven't read an X-Men comic since 1998, so I have no idea what he is like today other than what people have told me, but I haven't experienced it for myself (not sure I really want to, honestly, as Age of Apocalypse seems like a really good stopping point).

Yeah when the real Jean returns Scott basically sneaks away from Madelyne and lil' baby Cable and he stays away from them for something along the lines of "I can't believe I fell for a clone!" It's his asshattery here which leads Madelyne to evil later and in a manner sets Cable up to be the big grump that he is. Apparently being a dick runs in the family though because Alex does some equally and much more douchey actions with his later family and then Vulcan is just a plain evil space dictator.

Honestly AoA isn't a totally terrible place to end things. A lot of the modern stuff is a mixed bag where some volumes and some series are good and worth a look at while others are head-scratching confusing with their poor plots and off beat characterizations. I'd say with any modern X-books looking at particular story arcs is better than running a whole series or volume. Of course personal tastes differ.
