I prefer him to take his time and write what he wants instead of "factory writing" a bunch of books that are garbage.
Meh. He's had plenty of time to write and when we're talking YEARS between books the whole "factory writing" thing doesn't exactly take.

Exactly. I mean he had what? 11 years between feast and dance? That's taking "writing what you want" to extremes

You can say that, but my perfect example of this would be Stephen King's Dark Tower series. He wrote the first 4 books over a 15 year period and they were all excellent. He then had a brush with death and churned out the last three books over 3 years, and they were all mostly garbage.
Sometimes an author needs a break to write something else to keep him from getting stagnant on his main series. I've been reading this series since 1996 when it came out, so I'm as pissed about the delays as anyone, but I'd rather he take his time and put out a good product rather than rush out some garbage.
That being said, Martin does seem to take slacking to extremes. Though he is self admittedly terrible at deadlines.

I know he took his sweet fricking time with the last two but I rather have good books instead of garbage.
Though he is getting up in years, and is not the picture of health. I would hate to have another writer come in to finish the series.
