I can't say I dislike Wil Wheaton, he's a pretty decent actor and from everything I have read about he's cool as far as real life and trek are concerned.
But the role? Yeeowch. Wesley must have been hard to play.
If you look at the character, he was most likely added to TNG as Gene Roddenberry's expression of his childhood fantasies: the boy who gets to be bright enough to fly a great ship like the Enterprise. In fact, Wesley is Gene Roddenberry's middle name, and Rodenberry used to be a pilot. Wesley Crusher is the helsman on the Enterprise after he proves himself to Picard.
Now, I'm not saying it's bad for the character to be in the series, but it ends up being hard to mesh the boy wonder with a crew that, while remarkable in thier own rights, have gained thier positions through study and training and experience.
I don't think Wesley is a bad character but he doesn't necesarily fit with the rest of the crew in the first few seasons. I find it incongruent that with his experience aboard the Enterprise that he can't make it through Starfleet Academy - which comes off as more of a disagreement between the writers with how the character should develop rather than actual character development (in other words, the more realistically teenage he becomes in the later episodes, the more he strays from Roddenbryy's original concept.)
yikes, that got more wordy than I expected >.<

Hahaha nice license plate. Here in Ontario, the government lets you pick from a set of license plate icons, and one is the Enterprise D
Actually, I just checked... they don't offer it anymore! I think it also might've been a Star Fleet badge.
