I find this a strangely prevalent opinion among my friends, that CLAMP never finishes anything, but really all they mean is that CLAMP never finished X. (I know, Legal Drug and Chun Hyang too, but people don't usually mention those two).
Yes. When I was preparing to dive into Clamp earlier this year (after bingeing on Tsubasa and xxxHolic) I asked what they hadn't finished, and was surprised at how few there were. Chun-Hyang, sadly, I suspect was sales or something. Legal Drug, though I haven't read yet, I wonder if they just thought of a way to do it that they liked more, resulting in xxxHolic. One theory I've heard about X/1999 is that they just got tired of it. Since all their other series are shorter, I wonder if that's true. Which makes me even more worried about xxxHolic and Tsubasa, but they also have regularly changing casts and (in Tsubasa's case) worlds, so I hope that helps if that was the problem.
I think CLAMP had a falling out with Asuka. At the same time X "went on hiatus" CLAMP's other series running in Asuka, Gohou Drug, also ceased publication. (I was subscribed to Asuka at the time and greatly miffed by both of them disappearing).
Nekoi still loves GD though, she often laments on her personal board about not being able to draw the manga, and draws the characters often on CLAMP's oekaki.
I haven't seen the MKR anime, but a lot of the manga's fans tell me it isn't as good, especially season 2.
Pretty much all of Clamps works have some sort of Wrong to them, but none like Chobits. CCS has a minor pairing that's squicky, but we thankfully don't see it a lot, and RG Veda made me want to bash a few people over the head at the end, but they're all pretty good, and none give me the "eeeew" of Chobits.

They finished Wish, Tokyo Babylon, RG Veda, Magic Knight Rayearth and Cardcaptor Sakura, off the top of my head.

GD ran for a few more issues but stopped shortly after X did.
