Personally, I don't dislike her... Her introduction was just too abrupt and we are expected to care a lot more about her than what we have seen of her so far justifies. There wasn't enough of a build-up to her relationship with the Doctor. By introducing her as 'the impossible girl', Moffatt is both highlighting the fact that we hardly know her and completely bypassing the emotional build up of her history with the Doctor, making it very hard for viewers to care for her, especially if they have been watching Doctor Who for more than a season.

I am sure that for people who only started watching a year before her introduction, Clara seems like a fine companion: she is indeed perky, resourceful, brave and quite cute, if the most cliched looking companion in quite a while. Let me count the ways: young, white, female, petite, very feminine, and did I mention very young and cute? (none of which is a negative, just very deja vu, is all.)

For people who have watched since the 2005 reboot, it's hard to get very much attached to her when the lamp shading trick used to introduced her robbed us of the natural process we had with all the other companions. Time...
