I think Matt Smith is brilliant and every bit the great successor to David Tennant (my personal favorite) and all the Doctors before him. He's got that perfect eccentricity, quirkiness, and thirst for new adventure and knowledge that all the Doctors before him carries, and he also brings his own uniqueness into the role just like every Doctor actor.

To me, Matt's portrayal of the Doctor is one that is of an old being who has a very grandfatherly quality about him, and one who is now resigned to his fate and found himself more connected and more fond of his companions because of the experiences he has had before, especially as Doctor #10 has affected him now in this new regeneration. The Doctor is learning, and he's changing, and in a lot of ways, he is becoming more connected to these human companions and more emotional and affectionate than he ever was.

I smile every time I see Matt on screen and I adore his relationship with Amy. I think his acting is every bit as good as anything else I have seen him in, perhaps even better in a lot of ways, especially with the brilliant Steven Moffat guiding him as the head writer.

I've never had issues with Matt, I've loved him from the first moment he uttered his first line and I have no doubt I will remain loving him til he says his last.
