The art was ridiculously over the top 90s, but as a storyline, I can't think of anything from outside of Claremont's run that has held up as well. Sure, X-ecutioner's song and Messiah Complex are great, but I think generally they aren't as well regarded. And FWIW, that's NOT just IMO.

(Personally, Inferno doesn't get half the love it deserves and is the best crossover and hell, I'll even say it, BEST storyline from the X-men mythos, and that IS just IMO)

I'm not a fan of AoA, but in the way of anecdotal experiences that may or may not mean anything, your observation of the fandom surrounding the story is consistent with mine own. I have not met many X-fans that share my sentiments of general "meh" about the event. The general consensus is that AoA was a bigger better version of DoFP. I don't agree with that notion, but I've always found myself in the minority regarding that opinion.

That's a very safe bet.
