So, the big announce about SC2 at Blizzcon is that the map editor is more like a game creator, capable of even creating FPS style games. They apparently even did a quick version of Lost Vikings to show it off as well (http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/pc/games/153887/features/133730.20090823.BlizzCon-StarCraft-II-gameplay-panel/ ). If this game editor is half as awesome as what they're showing, SC2 is going to be HUGE, even outside the RTS crowd!
