Well you can't deny that it is good for the game. Having a whole matchup dependant on one spell isn't good. It made it so Protoss players could win games they had no business winning or lose games that they had completely won (neural).

It's only a real problem in WoL though. Eventually Zerg managed to counter it by being more careful with their BL (and that means it's only a problem for Protoss itself because it was their only way to win). With Tempest and the new Void Rays, Protoss don't need Vortex anymore.
Also a compromise situation (to keep Vortex, maybe at least let it have some occasional fun uses), is to keep Vortex but make it have a 3 second channeling/casting time (with an icon indicator and/or a sound to warn it's coming), kind of like Nukes and Nydus.
