Random. All the races have something unique to offer. Played random in beta, tried to main a race for a month or so, switched back and now I only main a race if my MUs as that race are getting sloppy or bad.

Plus I can give Terrans hell for having no self-respect, Zergs hell for having no balls and lately Protosses hell for "exploiting obvious to-be-fixed imbalances" - all the while claming to be none while being them all ^^

Terran and Protoss are boring. Lord knows I should switch because they're both so much easier, but if I play either race I find myself terribly bored with my wins.

Terran because that's what I played in scbw and I couldn't give up using siege tanks. Has nothing to do with "wins" or "easy race". I actually have a better win rate with protoss when i play random 2v2s. I just like the positional gameplay similar to chess with siege tanks and vikings. People hate tvt's because of this, I love it.

played zerg in broodwar, it just felt right to continue to play zerg. I play random in team games though.

I played terran in BW and terran in beta and terran for like two weeks post-release, but switched to protoss because I felt like SC2 terran was like BW protoss (slow and unweldy). I'm not good, and won't ever be good, so being able to do stupid shit like 4wgate and proxies and cute shit with HTs and prisms amuses me and is fun, especially in 2x 3x 4x.

Edit:
Whoring zerg with Phoenixes is fun too lol.

I always play the underdog. I was Protoss until they became FOTM when the beta had been out for a while.

I just can't stand people whining about me winning because of imbalance. I'm Zerg now.

Dude, just play random. Playing one race all the time is sooooo boring.

I only played enough campaign in SC1 to be decent with Terran, so I kinda stuck with it and that carried over into SC2. Although I like to play randoms in casuals because all the races are interesting, I'm just bad at Zerg and Protoss. =P

But Zerg is imbalanced! The first 3 GSLs were won by Zergs!
Just kidding

I began as T in beta, coz my circle of friends had P and Z already and one wanted all matchups for our private games. Then I learned MMM stim timing push and he falmed me like crazy. Same happened in Ladder.
Since then I play RANDOM.

Hate T now because I still only have that MMM stim play.
It feels like you need to be pretty exact with builds as T. 3 Rax MM or 2 Rax MMM are easy to do, but I fail with anything else.

I had a very similar problem when I picked up SC2. I don't really care for the Terran play style, as I don't like the way the constructing of buildings works. So I just basically played a bunch of games as Zerg and Protoss and eventually came to the conclusion that I liked playing Protoss as my main race. I still do play Zerg once in a while, and even sometimes play Terran. I think it really just came down to which style of race I liked the most.

Lol srsly? I would say it's the easiest to learn (read: LEARN not play)
I played T from platinum ---> masters league.
Switch recently to protoss as I was tired of 45min+ TvT and my TvZ was horribad... Now I take great pleasure in all 3 matchups - but from what I hear PvP will be a pain in time. Overall I think my T is still stronger, but it's just not as fun.

I would actually love to play Z, but I somehow manage to always screw up my larvae count. 0mins --> 8 larvae .... 5mins later 1500mins --> 0 larvae... So yeah, T got boring and Z wasn't an option

Played Protoss in BW and continued the tradition through beta and release of SC2. In BW I played Protoss initially because they felt the coolest to my 12 year old self, and then stayed with them because PvZ was an incredibly fun, dynamic, harass-based match-up and TvZ demanded control and mechanics that I didn't have.

In SC2 I continue playing Protoss instead of Terran because I'm too lazy to learn the glorious matchup that is TvT. Yes sloth relegates me to the PvP Circle of Hell.

I have always been god awful at Zerg.
