I like Smith - he's solidly in the middle of the pack for me, but I'm not disappointed. It seems as if the series was in a bit of a trough this year and it might not be bad to see a fresh face.
My hope - as it's been for a while - is that Moffat will go with an older actor this time around (though obviously it won't be John Hurt or anyone of his generation). The dynamic of a slightly more mature Doctor - both in terms of look and personality - can be a very good one.
