The two examples that come to mind to me (although feel free to discuss if there are any others) are Neil Gaiman and Gareth Roberts.
Neil Gaiman was vocally unhappy with how his Nightmare in Silver story eventually turned out, and has tellingly never written for the series since.

Gareth Roberts was a big cheerleader of the RTD era and seemed fully onboard with the show until Series 8. The Caretaker seemed to be the last thing he wrote for the show, and to my surprise, he spent some time after making various tweets to the effect of how the era was doing everything wrong and making the Doctor utterly unappealing to the masses. Tellingly he was also not a fan of the Zygon two-parter's political angle (which I don't blame him for).
But I'd love to know what happened that made him break with the fold as he did (long before his more recent controversies).
Tellingly both of these incidents happened under Moffat's reign, and I am dying to know how many other scripts were badly compromised or lost outright to Moffat's approach (I remember reading talk of some whistleblower saying that 8 scripts had had to be abandoned in Series 6 alone), and whether more writers found him and his team difficult to work with.
