The changes to the game have been an improvement from SC1 in my eyes. Basic macro is a lot easier (multiple building selection) and the micro has a lot of fun units to play with (blink stalkers).
The rock-paper-scissors match-up of the 3 races has settled quite nicely since the beginning of beta and is more fun to play overall for a few reasons. The AI for swarms of units has been improved and because some overpowered abilities such as psi storm have been changed. Now you see more storms but they have decreased radius and damage due to the +25 energy upgrade (can storm on warp-in).
Overall this game is a blast and it has a ton of modding potential as well, more than SC1. I recommend if you want to get comfortable quickly with the match-ups, watch some youtube vids of some of the high-level players. Check youtube for a few key casters - HuskyStarcraft, HDStarcraft, PsyStarcraft, AskJoshy, Day[9].
