Eccleston was a casual bad-ass who typically just didn't care.

A bit different from the normal Doctor. Not bad, but not my preferred form.

Really, the only Doctor I've ever disliked was Davison, but I've not yet seen a Sixth episode.

It's absolutely impossible to be intimidated by a Dalek anymore, after they've been thrown around like Stormtroopers in a Star Wars film; always there, always shooting, never hitting anyone important.

And then, because Davies is a consistent hack, he managed to save himself and create a whole new Doctor.

The Daleks suck so bad anymore that they create new life when they try to kill things.

Then they captured the TARDIS. Then they came about two seconds away from destroying it. Then they came about two seconds away from destroying the entire multiverse.

...and yet they lose every time. Consistently.

I mean, I like the Daleks, but they need to stop showing up all the time. They can't write a good Dalek episode after series. I mean, think of your favorite episode in the new series. It isn't one with a Dalek or a Cyberman, is it?

I think the Nation Estate made a contract saying the daleks HAVE to appear every series, seems like it.

For the record, it could be argued they won in Victory of the Daleks. Sure, they didn't destroy Earth or kill the Doctor, but they returned themselves to purity. And really the only reason the Doctor's beaten them in the new series (except maybe for that one in the beginning of The Wedding of River Song) is because he was lucky.
