Not a fan of people quiting like that - people voted for him as they had an implied promise

"Vote for me and I will represent you for the length of my term"
It seems deeply disrespectful to then break that implied promise.
I find the whole situation particularly jarring as I'm used to the UK system where if a seat is vacated between elections then a by election is held, allowing the voters to select a new person to represent them. That the new person is imposed on the voters doesn't sit well with me at all.

Well it's been a couple years, 6 years is a long term compared to 2 or 4, maybe different standard
