I actually understand Walt not being there a lot more than Michael. This particular group of people were meeting to move onto the next life together, because the island and these relationships where the biggest, most important connections of their lives. They are reuniting with the people with whom they loved and suffered together. Hell - most of them died there. Whereas Walt escaped the island as a child, and presumably went on to grow up and live an entirely different life, forming different relationships. So I assume the people he would be most connected to in his afterlife would be from his own adult experience

That's a good point about Walt, and possibly that's how they would reconcile Mr. Eko not being there as well. Not that he left the island as a child, obviously, but he wasn't on it for that long compared to the others, and he died before most of the momentous events occurred, so it probably wasn't the Most Important Thing That Ever Happened To Him (shooting the priest to spare his brother as a young boy might have been that for him).
And yeah, I'm right there with you in feeling torn about Sayid/Shannon. I'm not complaining, because I did always like them together and I was glad to see Sayid find some happiness. But at the same time, it's hard to reconcile that ending with all of his past experiences with Nadia. Still, it's hard to be too bothered by it when I remember that smile on his face at the end. *sniffle*
