Yeah. The thing is that people sell the skill required to play Protoss short. Blink micro is really fucking hard.

Blink micro is easy. Playing SC2 and doing blink micro at the same time is hard  I mean I can do magical stuff with blink stalkers too, but I get supply blocked, I don't build probes, I accidentally select sentries(PvZ) and therefore I cannot blink and i get supply blocked(I know I wrote that earlier but... you get the point  ).
And later in the game - prioritizing targets, knowing when to blink in/out, if you get demolished.
And even if I feel like a total trash doing this stuff it's fun as hell

Actually I'm considering myself quite decent at micro things like blinking and splitting but I've practiced those really long.
I don't think blinking is the hardest thing to do (yet it's up there though) - But if you screw up just once you're going to lose a lot
of stalkers and most probably - or in this scenario - the game.

No-one can Blink micro reliably beneath Masters league (on EU at least) and Masters league is a tiny minority of players. So I think that's the case for it being hard, that is, the vast majority of sc2 players are totally uncapable of doing it.

Probably because it's not necessary.

what??? blink micro is arguably the easiest form of micro in the game. Its actually almost impossible to lose them in head on engagements.

I still think what I wrote. It's a usual syndrome - player microing units like a boss with 1200/600 resources floating, because screw macro. The exactly same thing happens to bio terran players in lower leagues(beneath masters). Perfect stuttering with marines, who cares about supply depots and floating of resources ,-)

Not if you're up against mass Bio with Stim or big Roach Hydra compositions... your Stalkers will melt before you've even selected them.

cant comment on vs bio, but not a single stalker should die vs roach hydra comps. If a single one dies there is something wrong with the protoss microing.

Come on... exaggerating much.
Edit: Maybe if you're having forcefields but then again handling Stalkers and Sentries at the same time is difficult again
