A difference in skillset is a very different argument than saying one is plain stronger than the other. I'm not really sure to what degree Naruto's rather limited skillset is a bad decision though, considering he's not terribly skilled to begin with. It would be out of character if he just started using extremely complex techniques like say Hiraishin, even though i'd have loved him using that. I think in fact that it's intentional that Sasuke has a wider skillset and Naruto has more raw power, and so pretty much compensate for the other. After all, Madara controlling Kurama and Sasuke the nine tailed beasts very much falls under their abilities to compensate raw power.

But the biggest one in my opinion was Sasuke ending up with Sakura. It would've been better if Sasuke hadn't plain stated he wasn't interested in her, it would have been better to make a more generic statement about him not being interested in love in general.
