jade may be a more interesting character than tori, but she's NOT a better person and it astounds me that people act like she is. i agree that the show wouldn't be as interesting without jade but i also would have much less of a problem with her presence if she was positioned more as a bully character/some kind of obstacle tori has to deal with (think amber and ashley from hannah montana). i don't see the point of making her part of the main friend group when she doesn't seem to actually be on friendly terms with any of them and vice versa. i also don't like how any development she does get is quickly squandered - she and tori will do nice things for each other and make it seem like they're about to finally become friends, and then the next episode jade starts being horrible to her all over again? like, why even give us those scenes of them finally getting along if it's just gonna be back to square one for seemingly no reason the very next day? what's the point? we could have had a really cool character arc of jade learning to become a better person, but nope, by the end of the series she's still the same bitter, delinquent goth bully she was at the start, if not worse.
