Pulaski had more development in a season than Crusher had in the series. When Pulaski was in a scene her presence was felt and affected the scene. When Crusher was in a scene she was just there as well, (unless the episode was specifically focused on her).

In fail to see the problem!
I think we could have done a bit better than copy/paste and gender swap. She never got a chance to develop into her own unique character.
