This was part of why I was so pissed when Tara kicked it in Buffy. Seriously, if you absolutely had to kill someone like that, couldn't you have killed off someone in one of the seven or eight heterosexual romances that have happened in that show during it's six seasons so far?

If there was more than one gay or lesbian ship on the show at the time, I wouldn't have minded so much. Of course I still would've minded because that death was totally fucking pointless and gratuitous, but I wouldn't have felt like I got cheated out of a rare gem.

I'm trying to think of what other character death would create that kind of rage in Willow (which was the point of Tara's death). I'm only coming up with Dawn. I'm not even sure Xander would make the cut by that point.

In which case they shouldn't have gone with the "Willow goes evil due to her lover's death" route. I mean, psycho lesbian is also a tired old stereotype.

I was pretty disappointed that they didn't follow up on the very realistic slippery-slope into moral disregard route that Willow was going down in "Bargaining" due to her obsession with protecting Buffy, and made her all nutty and magic-addicted instead. THAT would've made a far better "Willow goes bad" story.

Absolutely. I wasn't enamoured of the magic addiction (it seemed...contrived, maybe?) but Buffy got shot too, and Willow going after Warren would have made as much sense if they hadn't already had her trying to reform to get Tara back.
