Funny, Warlock is doing the best, and though it's awesome, it's, in my opinion, the weakest of the 4e classes, for several reasons. NOT BY MUCH though, like, by the tiniest margin - don't yell at me for this.
Warlord is my favorite class, ever. It totally suits my playstyle, and RPing it is fun! Tactical ones especially. My guy (before we TPK'd at the end of level 1) had a large involved plan for ambusing a goblin encampment - 50 to 4 is not good odds! Then he died to a random (level 2) encounter during the set up, so his biggest character development thing never mattered
Sucked though, we decided to start setting up traps at night so we could sleep during the day and ambush better, and had we levelled, the fight (4 Needlefang Drake Swarms against four level 1s) wouldn't have been as hard. He rolled damn good for damage, too.

There isn't a class I don't like, comparing it back to 3.x. How am I supposed to answer this?
Love Clerics because they can heal as minor actions, or as part of other actions.
Love Fighters because of Combat Challenge/Superiority.
Love Paladins because of Divine Challenge, and full plate + heavy shield at 1st level.
Love Rangers because of Hunter's Quarry.
Love Rogues because of Trick Strike and the like.
Love Warlocks because they are fresh.
Love Warlords because they are fresh.
Love Wizards because they can cast spells at Will.
If someone told me, hey, our party could really use an X, can you play one, my answer would without hesitation be a yes.
I guess Rogue has always been my favorite class to play, and that's not likely to change in this edition, so that'll be my vote, but as far as game mechanics go, I really couldn't pick a favorite.

This edition I'd have to go with Fighter so far. Rogue is a close second with wizard closing in on third spot.
But the fighters are just so darn tough now and have so many cool options. Not only are their class features made of pure win, but I'm really digging their power options. The rogue is great and fun, but some of his power options are a bit meh, whereas there isn't a single level of power in the fighter list where I'm not thinking, "Ooh, i can't wait to get that!"
