Newsflash:
What is going on here is that some (but definitely not all!) of the people in love with Starcraft:BW refuse to accept that there are intelligent, normal people who prefer a different game.

"Wow this person likes something I definitely don't care for, so there's obviously something terribly wrong with him! Whatever I like is obviously universally a good thing and everybody who thinks otherwise must be crazy!"
It's like the console wars.
Try making a thread called "I love Xbox!" on Playstation forums or vice-versa and I bet you something funny happens even if you don't say a single mean word.

It's also a big excuse for bullies to pick on people at school. "Hey this guy likes something weird, let's beat the crap out of him!"

I think most of us grow out of this mindset as we age, so I don't think coin collectors and stamp collectors rage at each other very much, but I could certainly be wrong!

Anyway, I like both but I prefer Starcraft 2.
I think it's because I personally find the units and abilities more interesting.
I love seeing Void Rays snipe buildings, swarms of Phoenixes killing masses of ground units with micro, sneaky Nydus Worms devastating mineral lines at the worst possible moments, well controlled Banelings melting units many times their cost and just all kinds of stuff like that.
I even recall a 2vs2 with Vortex + Nuke. The units exited the vortex just as nuke was about to hit the ground.

(This is the point where somebody starts foaming at mouth and types me an angry reply showing how SC:BW obviously better and I'm WRONG and mentally retarded by having a personal preference. Moving along!)

I must say I certainly prefer the Zergling attack sounds of the original and I somewhat miss lurkers and mines.
SC2 could use a little more "locked down" ground, maybe.
