Me personally, Starcraft isn't even in my top 25. I mean, I like it, and it's one of the best RTSes of all time, but best game ever made? I dunno, I guess part of the problem is I have always sucked at the RTS genre anyway. It's the only genre where a legitimate measure of a player's skill is "button clicks per second", and frankly I just can't scroll and click nearly as fast as... well anyone else on Battle.net at any one time if past experience is any guide. I guess this comes across as "I suck at it therefore I hate it", but that's really not what I'm trying to say. I just could never really get into the genre as much as others, and my lack of skill plays a big part in that.
However, it's good to see they're still updating the game, and with it free, that'll help with people who never played it before. I primarily play these things for their single player campaigns, which I do a lot better at, so I can at least recommend it for that. It's got a pretty interesting story. I mean, it's kinda cliche by today's standards, and a lot of the most interesting story bits are in the manual, but it's still a pretty fun ride with generally likable characters.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
