Way to go, Rose!! ;) Yeah, I'll admit I felt my silly little fangirl heart grow about ten sizes at the results. I'm also amused at the resulting butthurt, but well, that was always to be expected.
Even after watching many other companions, I think I always come back to Rose. She and Donna have my heart and when it comes to the companions, they probably always will. My husband and I were talking about companions (we were getting on the discussion of Jenna and wondering what she was going to be like) and I realized that one reason I like Donna and Rose the most is that Rose's stories seemed to bring out what I liked to see in the Doctor, character-wise (compassion, a little bit of almost-romance, fun, and later her memory brought out a pained side of him that I did find interesting to see him deal with), and Donna -- or Catherine Tate, rather -- brought out what I thought was some of the best in David Tennant; they were all absolutely brilliant together, but yeah... that's kind of what I really loved about those two in particular.
As for Rose, I think the comment from the article's author also made me remember that Rose was a risky character, and the show's revival was riding on her success just as much as the Doctor's (if not more). And what can I say, two stories that absolutely made me realize how much I was in love with Doctor Who centered on Rose ("Father's Day") and then the Doctor himself ("Dalek"). *shrugs*
So whiners can whine and haters can hate all they want, Rose did it for a lot of us. ;)
