Lord of the Rings fans have probably just found a scapegoat to blame for part of The Hobbit's woes. James Cameron has confirmed that he once gave Guillermo del Toro advice to back out of the project.
I think Jackson needs to do this, or that they shouldn't be done at all. It's his vision so let's let him finish it up. Besides after this long, it might not even be necessary.
My attention is on 'At The Mountains of Madness' now.
No kidding. He will have a high bar to achieve after LoTRs. Everyone is going to compare him to Jackson... he has quite the battle to fight.

I'd say it was some pretty sound advice, and that when someone like James Cameron tells you something, it might be a good idea to listen.
