I don't have a problem with his plot. I have a problem with his plot not going anywhere for book after book after book. After book 6 it slowed down to the point that nothing happened at all in book 10. He could have cut one, possibly even two entire books out of the past four and had a much better story. That would have required some vigorous editing, removing the repetitive and uninteresting things. There's only so many times that Nynaeve can "sniff dismissively" or smooth her skirt or whatever before it becomes boring. His women characters are all just catty bitches, and all act pretty much the same; it stopped being interesting a long time ago. If his wife is his editor one would think that she'd maybe curtail some of that! Maybe that's a good case for not having a family member (who're supposed to be fans out of loyalty if nothing else) also be your editor!
