My friends and I are some of the first players of Starcraft and we agree that Terran got shorthanded. You could argue at "peak of power" all races are equal. In fact Zerg might have the upper hand since they have a new strong air and ground unit AND still use defilers. But at the start of a regular match (4workers 1bulding and 50min in the bank) you might say, in the time it takes to become dangerous, Terran is weak. 1 zergling can kill 2 marines and at the time it takes to make that first fighter, zerg already has 6. Zealots are even worse! In the time it takes to produce eight (assuming you know where the enimey's camped) you can tear a few bunkers apart and then send a second wave to finish him/her off. Seige tanks are great but one lurker can cripple your worker line. Dark templar are crap if you have detectors but how hard is it to shoot down a science facility? Ever play Warcraft3? A simple feature in that game could tip the balance. If you play against a computer who's terran and you're terran or protoss you might hate how fast a ghost can lock down your stuff. Warcraft 3 has an "auto cast" feature. Just right click on a "spell icon" and the unit will cast the spell automatically. Imagine 20 ghosts against... well... anything but infantry or zerg. But what's the strongest most versatile attack you should start with? Infantry w/ firebats and medics? That's worked for me better than I'd thought. Tank, valkyrie, science facility combo?
