Xanatos could off the Gargoyles if he so pleased. He has all the power and resources in the world to do it. He could run a campaign to snuff them out or can simply drop an army on 'em, but he doesn't want to. The only reason he kept them around was simply to try and dominate them, to have fun. He knows where they live, their fighting styles and everything. Everything Xanatos was well thought out, the plans meshing out so well that you got a chuckle from how devious it was. Even though Xanatos failed more than once, he always kept his calm even when death stares down in his face.

I absolutely cannot say the same for Aizen. His plans come off as blatant asspulls, full stop and only when something doesn't go his way he gets all pissy. I never saw the charm in Aizen in and out of the series. He's just plain annoying
