Is Donatello too smart?

Donatello, someone who wasn't able to attain normal education is able to build sophisticated cutting edge devices from scrap and trash he may be able to acquire which he doesn't have much to choose from. Not only is he ahead of the rest of the world for the most part he does it all without any formal education or any resources. I guess you can blame the mutation but it didn't seem to affect the other turtles in that way. OT Don is especially guilty of this and even poked fun of in Turtles Forever but almost all universe's use Don's in-universe broken smarts to give a simple/cheap explanation of where the turtles get their stuff, this isn't something only OT Don is guilty of. Looking back I don't think most turtle verses would have even be able to survive without Don and in context he is the most valuable turtle to the team. Ironically enough he's probably the least liked turtle, Leo is the leader, Mikey the fun one, Raph the tough one and they all have plenty of fans for those reasons but especially kids they don't want to be the "smart" one (not most kids anyways). Plus the brown skin his toy had also had to have made him less appealing than the other greener looking turtles to kids. Maybe Don should be turned down a couple of notches for newer incarnations.
