SC2 makes you feel good and makes you feel as if you have a very realistic shot at being at the top. BW grinds you to the ground and crushes your hopes of ever reaching the top, which is what people enjoy about SC2 so much. Which leads to the great foreigner migration to SC2, because that's where the money is.. until BW progamers start migrating to SC2 that is.

Anyways, I'm sticking with BW all the way, even if it's soul-crushingly difficult. It's really just a superior game design-wise and strategy-wise, despite the "UI limitations" (fuck you, I can cope fine with this "archaic" UI).

Yeah, the main selling point to play SC2 is that everyone else is playing it

The game itself doesn't seem that awesome, just another passable RTS. Yeah you can say that in 5 years or whatever it will be amazing, with awesome maps & expansions & patches, but that is potentially true for any of those other ok-ish RTSs ever made if they got support and players.
If you have to ask, you don't know.
