Holy crap, look at the balance on that poll. 200 votes and its that close? Not surprised to see the WD slightly behind, but its still very close.
Mind you, small sample size and all, but I feel like that better evidence that Blizzard has done an EXCELLENT job with crafting the gameplay of all of the classes than almost any anecdote given by forum-goers so far.
Me, I'll be playing monk as my main/first by far. Wave of Light build looks too much fun, and the spell effect for it is the most satisfying thing I have ever seen/heard.
I enjoyed every class (got all to 13 for the sake of trying them) but enjoyed WD the least, and probably Barbarian the most, but I'll still be going with Monk, as the final result of the monk build I want looks like too much fun to pass up.

It is pretty much a toss up between the Wizard and Monk for me (I voted Wizard in this poll though).
I think I'll have to play the Witch Doctor at higher levels. I didn't really get a good vibe from him during my time in the beta. He is a strong class no doubt but it just didn't click right with me. Oddly enough I enjoyed the Witch Doctor more than the Barbarian though.

Holy crap no flavor of the game class really. Its suprising that out of that many votes there are they are all so close in percentage. I enjoyed the wizard the most though so that will be my class.

I always kept true to warriors so my first will be a barbarian and my second a monk. My third probaly will be a demon hunter, since i just love the different kind of shots you can use with them.

Pretty much this. Originally Posted by mavfin

At first I didn't really care for the Witch Doctor but after getting him to 13, I think he is going to be a lot of fun in the higher difficulties with the CC and pets.

I voted DH for my main, but I'll be doing a lot of co-op with the gf and she might try taking DH from me. If she demands it, I'll go Barb on the side for co-op.

Monk
Was playing monk with a Dagger and a shield (like wtf!
) in beta, nothing touched me, and i made myself a build that suited monk tanking/group healing etc. Having tested what limits i could to level 13, i found that i never went below 75% hp, i expect it to be a lot different the more we advance, but for now, im sticking to that!
Second Char will be Demon Hunter, but wont make a second char until i max my monk out and defeat inferno (so prolly months)

Voted for monk. Really enjoyed the class in beta, but then again, I enjoyed most of 'm. Still prefer monk though, quite survivable and the skills just seem like a lot of fun. Looking forward to it!

Barb or Wizard.

I am going with wizard myself with barbarian in second place. The one class I will probably play last will be witch doctor due to how slow he killed. I am probably not doing it right though. -shrug- Won't know until I get more time to practice with the good ol doctor. I think I was playing the monk a bit off also, was taking a lot of damage. Didn't care for demon hunter but I really didn't get into it other than just the first village so I will need to level more than just to level 2.

Played all classes through multiple runs, definitely enjoyed barb, wizard, and demon hunter the most. Out of the 3 I'll likely be rolling the barbarian first. Not because I specifically enjoyed it more than wizard and demon hunter, but because of the versatility of the barbarian class.
Wizard and demon hunters seem limited to one play style (stay at ranged/kite whenever possible and nuke with whatever skills you have slotted). Barbarian on the other hand can go super tanky with taunts and self heals/defensive buffs, full support with lots of shouts for buffs and debuffs, or super hack n slash blow them all to tiny pieces God of War style.
