Well gradual decline vs everyone suddenly getting healed.  Eh, up to you.

Kanon has plenty of stuff unexplained, like why he happened to forget everything after seven years, as well as various character traits (not talking about the cutesy factors).

I know its one of the best in its class... but theres one major difference between KgNE and the Key stories. Magic. And it's quite alright to have it you know, it makes it that much more bewildering. But hey, that's probably just me. ;)

No, I wouldn't say that is a key difference.  The key difference would be the fact that KgNE focuses more on the aftermath.
But on the topic of magic, I don't mind it, however it has to be wielded correctly, which is often a difficult thing to do, otherwise you get issues of "why couldn't this problem be solved with magic?", and the viewer's inability to make implications drawn from real life due to this fantasy world.
Magic works better for stuff like comedy, however is more difficult for more serious shows due to the aforementioned problems.

So if that was the ending to the Air show, would you consider that something which makes you think?  There are, after all, various mysterious references, such as parallel events in the past to prompt such a question.

And wouldn't you consider something like that prompting thought?
It might not have even been the guy - he may have been totally removed from the story (perhaps the crow was used as a device to give an alternative perspective on the story).
Since you probably can't give a definitive answer, you may "lolwut" it, but I say the same thing about open endings.
