I've honestly been baffled by some of the criticism leveled at the series this season by fans on other boards. A lot of it seems to be strange resentment of the Megan character or that its "too dark" or preference for the early 1960s setting. There's also some weird contingent that thinks Don not cheating on his wife…

I don't think Betty needs to be written out so much as 'Fat Betty' needs to be written out. Regular Betty is more like a Meadow or Melfi character (Meadow's appearances in season four are pretty similar to the number of Betty's appearances in Season 4, if I'm remembering correctly).
