I know Stargate was never just about Jack, but for me the relationships in a show are a huge part of why I watch it, and my two favourite relationships in SG1 are Jack & Daniel and Jack & Sam. Being Jack-less makes those relationships very difficult to maintain, and so that's a huge part of the show gone for me. The whole dynamic of the show just isn't what it used to be (that's such a cliche now...). That's not just because of Jack, it's just because the show has had to change to accomodate the evolution of the whole plot. In the last couple of seasons, they've achieved everything they set out to in the early days, and more. So now it has to be different. Atlantis probably hasn't helped matters. Don't get me wrong, I love Atlantis, it's fantastic, but now they have to make twice as much tv in the same amount of time, so everything's a bit rushed, and SG1 is suffering.
I think I've just sort of wandered off on a tangent here! My point (I'm fairly sure) is that S9 is good, but would have worked better as its own show, and I miss Jack and his relationships with the other characters terribly.
