I'm really surprised at how many people didn't like Katara beating Azula.
Zuko may not have beaten her, but still proved himself the better man, er, person, by risking his life to save Katara's.
In a finale which had nearly all the main characters beat their opponents with sheer overwhelming force, Katara was the only person pitted against a far more powerful opponent. In many ways, it actually made her victory all that more impressive; winning with brain over brawn.
and look at it this way; what would have sucked more, Katara getting her shot at Azula, or Katara quite literally pushed to one side, watching from the sidelines and doing nothing while Zuko wins the day by himself?
