Why do people give Donna so much praise?
She didn't fawn over the Doctor yes, sassy yes. But she wasen't that GREAT of a companion, bit annoying too. And while yes it has been a while since I watched S4, did seem like she fancied him a little.
Martha, gimped by Davies writting her as a rebound, was a better companion.
Donna is my favorite companion just because she's sassy and wasn't fawning over the Doctor. Also, she'd often take matters into her own hands, and didn't always depend on the Doctor saving her.
But I also think it has something to do with the overall quality of the episodes. I really didn't like most of the episodes in season 3, and maybe that created an illusion of Martha being a bad companion for me. On the other hand, I really loved season 4, so yeah.
Now that I think about it, I really prefer the even-numbered seasons. Can't wait for season 8 :D
