I can't claim, as if Garak's development was not phenomenal — it's all simply in the details. In the beginning, we learn from here and there, that Garak had to have been quite a ruthless operator, and was looking out for himself only. And Cardassia, if it benefited him. As time went on, he gradually began to look out and care for others. And Cardassia.
The show's characters all catered to different demographics. Like, Nog was there for the kids and aspiring youth, and Garak for a more discerning viewer. Think also about how Kira's relationship with her past evolves.
Interestingly, the most flawless characters were somewhat the most boring. There wasn't anything flawed about Dax, but I enjoyed seeing her romance with Worf. Or that Worf had a really romantic streak, and that he could give excellent advice on love (I should thank the writers). Ezri had the best Dax episode (meant to be 'special' for just her).
The stories revolving around Nog and Damar were a very modern take on the rags-to-riches theme. For some, it was like accelerated development. Some even had Cinderella themes (Rom).
Whereas with Kira, it was reconciling her past; with Quark, it was about being less greedy; and Bashir, well, he became less blue-eyed.
DS9 was overall about how each character developed as time went on, and it was really dynamic. In TNG, we don't see that kind of drastic character development, which hovered on being static. And now I'm not sure, which of those takes is more realistic.
