When I was younger I didn't like that after all this time (even with a sliding timescale) his whole thing was being an emo-kid about Uncle Ben dying and thought he needed to nut up and shut up about it.

Then I got older and realized how great that character traits is. He's not "wallowing in the past" he's recognizing where he failed, in the biggest fuck up in his life (to him), and using that to motivate him. He's not just forgiving himself and going back to his old self. He works to make sure he never let's a mistake like that happen again.

His powers make little to no sense as "powers of a spider", but he developed the tools himself, showing how smart he is. He's an everyman, and that great. He works hard, he's smart, poor. He's awesome, and deals with very real issues.

Hardly relatable though when he's always getting really attractive woman to date him, getting rich once in a while, having people that unconditionally love him. He's almost a parents wet dream.
