Daniel, there are clowns. 
Not liking their names and how they looked are some pretty weak arguments for boycotting the use of them. It sounds like you really didn't explore the game or its possibilities much.

For instance, much like the Ultra, the "charred popcorn" was a pretty crappy unit if used in groups of just itself, but when you throw in several with a swarm of Mutas, they really give a big boost to your airforce by decreasing the enemy's rate of fire. The few resources you spend on turning a few Mutas to Devs could mean the difference between victory and death for that squad.

Also, even stimmed marines fall to massive (and I mean massive) swarms of cheap, fast zerglings, let alone a force with more powerful units.

The corsair's poor attack (though if you're just complaining about the art... WTF?) was made up for by the quick rate of fire and that it did splash damage. Plus, being able to instantly lock-down turrets is just pretty invaluable.

It was silly to boycot Valks, as they are probably the best air-to-air unit in game, especially in groups of 5 or more. If you're doing a Battlecruiser sweep, nothing quite protects them as well as a bunch of Valks and Sci ship.
