Dont know what lame means to you, but Im completely opposite of your view.
First, Orgrimar, wooden tent city, orcs and stinky wolves sleep in same tent, disgusting. Just imagine/be in-character. Its stoneage really.
Second, Barrens zone - that huge ORANGE wasteland hurt my eyes, couldnt past lvl 10 whenever I tried.
Only exception is Undercity, but then again humans built it.
Horde races are all abominations, they cant stand straight, neanderthals-like, walking corpses-can they even be trusted?? Cows - joke race. Not to mention horde races hates eachother, no trust between them.
Gameplay wise, only casting animations are nice on horde side.
On the other hand, dwarves are noble old race, with honor, not stabbing eachother in the back, not savages from other planet like orcs, with long and interesting history and culture, architectually great city, true blacksmithing masters with real king, not âchiefâ.
Same with humans, peace and order, organisation.
Night elves - oldest race with long history and specific peace-loving culture and rituals.
Horde is just pack of animals, Alliance protectors of their way of life.
Almost forgot - we have awesome tram. Epic gnome achivment.

Opinions are like buttholes⌠everybody has one, most stink 
The only cool horde city is Thunderbluff. Horde races are mostly ugly, orc and undead being the worst. Only Tauren are cool and have a nice lore.
This said, I would have played a Tauren Shaman if my friends didnât want to play Alliance.
Story I guess. I hate the âmuh greenskin dindunuffinsâ crap they feed me concerning the horde since W3. I donât like playing the easymode faction either, and horde has the racial advantage, numbers advantage and developer advantage. I like challenge, not this.

Not sure what is lame about Alliance cities. Ironforge and Stormwind are amazing. Ogrimmar is a bunch of mud huts. Alliance cities are vastly superior in aesthetic to horde cities in my opinion. Undercity is the only Horde city that doesnât look terrible and it is ruined because it is such an unnavigable mess.

Thunderbluff looks great. It also looks civilized compared to the orc mud huts.
Undercity⌠who wants to live in a sewer, even if itâs themed like Bettlejuice ?
Alliance are better at any form of organised pvp be it wsg/ab premades or wpvp than horde, are superior in pve, and have instant queues.

I donât enjoy being a hairy / green / deformed something that talks in grunts and moos, and lives in tents in the desert. I can relate to humanoid beings.

I have always been a horde main but levelled this character while the queues were too big. Ended up sticking with her as I enjoyed playing her.
I played Horde from Vanilla to Cata and then quit, so I wanted something new. I also love gnomes, and I especially love instant BG queues.

Horde is far from being anywhere close to an op faction. Paladins + Dwarf Priests make alliance the easymode faction when you have them as premades or even randoms. EA and SS might not be on par with hardiness but itâs really nothing big. If people didnât oversaturate horde alliance would be the easymode faction in classic. Horde is supposed to be the underdog faction but itâs oversaturated by trash pvp griefers with a napoleon complex sprinkled with some good players.

TL:DR
If you want to play with Twitch Emote spamming one button macro orc hunters play horde, if you want to play with normal people that care about getting better at the game play alliance.

That depends if your talking about PvE or PvP. Horde have it much better off in PvP, having an extra trinket is a massive advantage the few seconds of immunity after stopping you from chain fearing is devastating and Hardiness is just as powerful, even War Stomp is nothing to be scoffed at. Fear ward is nice but can be dispelled, WoTF is superior for PvP which all Undeadâs have access too while only 1 race and class combination has fear ward. In PvE Fear ward is handy but it comes in handy against like one boss currently and itâs not needed as that boss is basically free loot for both factions.
And while Holy Paladins are indeed a massive advantage in PvP youâll see far more retlol Paladins unless your playing in a pre made group and Shamanâs arenât exactly weak, purge alone makes them incredibly strong in group PvP.

Guild voted alliance.
Donât really notice any difference in player attitudes between the horde and alliance. Think the Alliance cities are better, but the horde have better ways of getting around. Think all the bluster about horde or alliance is just that group of people being more vocal, and then more people jumped on the band wagon.
I was surprised more players didnât swap to alliance instead of horde for classic though.

I got bamboozled by my friends to play Alliance in Classic because they wanted a different experience this time around. I wanted to keep playing Horde, but for the most part it was OK until Phase 2.
These days I donât even want to stay subscribed, lol. I see no point in wasting my time being farmed by 40 man groups.
