In fact, I think from my point of view she's been pretty much the perfect companion, and for much the same set of reasons why I also feel the same way about Sarah Jane. They're both plucky and independent, but also warm-hearted and utterly ignorant of the wider Universe until they start travelling with the Doctor. It means that they're full of questions, and very ready to ask them, and also that they get very engaged with what they're seeing as they travel with him. But they cotton onto things quickly, are ready to take action of their own, and don't need patronising or molly-coddling. Oh - and of course, it goes without saying that their dynamic with the Doctor is healthy and genuinely matey.
That's pretty much exactly what I need from a companion - and I do hope we'll see more of it in future.
