One big point against the reboot that I see is that in a handful of years, the writers are going to begin instituting the same eventual stories of the characters from before, either because the new writer wants to put their spin on the old idea or because a new writer who grew up with a character in a certain style will take the reins and decide to bring back 'their' version of the character.

While the continuity reboot may draw in new readers who were previously daunted with the massive amount of background material, the comics are already written with a mind of 'every issue is someone's first.' Now, granted, you can't drop someone into the final issue of a story arc and expect them to get everything that's going on, but, especially in the era of online archives or Wiki sites, there's always a way to catch up. Fans like the continuity nods and references and new people are interested in finding out what the offhand reference to 'ancient and mystic artifact of untold power #47' means.

Basically, it's trying to wipe the slate clean without realizing that what came before always leaves an afterimage that affects what is put on it afterwards.
