Jenny Crusie laid out why Felicity/Oliver works with great articulation here. (http://www.arghink.com/2013/07/19/the-felicity-smoak-problem/)
To be frank, though, choices the show is making with Felicity and Oliver combined with fandom wallowing in the elements of that ship that I find the most problematic is in the process of killing my love for the ship.
At this point, if I could make any ship on that show canon, I’d make Felicity/Sara canon. Similar dynamic to Oliver and Felicity, without any of the frustratingly traditional gender dynamics.
