Kristin Wiig seems to get a lot of crap, but she's easily top 10 all-time in my book.

Seth Meyers is indeed the head writer, and the sketches have been somewhat weaker since he's taken over. The biggest problem is that nobody is really strong on the current-events humor, and they've been really forcing them due to the success of they '08 election sketches.
Though somewhat contrary to what you'd expect, I think the Weekend Update has been really well written lately. I just can't stand Meyers' delivery.
