I'm waiting until the next Crisis to get my hopes up. The bulk of everything I enjoyed about 90's comics came after, or as part of, Zero Hour. The bulk of everything I hate now at DC came about as build up to, part of, or during the latest Crisis. (Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis were linked, no?)
DC strikes me as being like the U.S. political system. It swings to the Right for a while, then the pressure of people's disgust pushes it to the Left; then people's weariness of the left pushes it back to the Right. All of the Silver Age wank is blowback from all the new ideas that erupted in the 90's/early-00's. Once people get fed up with it, the pendulum will swing away from Nostalgia Porn back to New Hotness.
