I'm only like four episodes into Season 3, and I already really, really like Martha (and kind of honestly want to smack the Doctor for the up-and-down rebound he's treating her to). I think I might like her better than Rose -- which isn't to say I disliked Rose, and neither character negates the other.
Actually, sadly, I think I'd blame fandom for a lot of my lukewarm feelings towards Rose these days. Yes, the Doctor loved her, whether romantically or not -- that doesn't make her some infailiable superwoman or perfect sweetheart. I like her because of her faults, and the fandom would have me believe she had none. :\
