As much as I loved Doctor Who, I'm not sure if it's purely RTD that caused me to become a fan. I love most of his other work too (Cucumber, Queer as Folk, etc.)

I thought he was a more consistent showrunner than Moffett but he had his problems. An overreliance on the Daleks were a big one, another issue were weak season long arcs that depended on keywords rather than actual build up (Bad Wolf, Torchwood, Saxon, Medusa Cascade/Bees). I also disliked how badly he handled most of his LGBT characters as they often felt like statements rather than actual characters which is surprising given that his claim to fame is mostly from well written gay themed shows.
Moffett's had his problems but the only really problematic season he's done was 7, I think. Matt Smith's first two seasons were good and both Capaldi seasons have been a return to form. Moffett's main issues were his need to overcomplicate everything and the fact that he was inconsistent but I think Capaldi's seasons so far have fixed some of those issues at least in part.
Ready for the new showrunner though.
