No, they are just a different class and I find it hard to say one class is better than others in a role playing game.  There are no weak classes, just weak players.From a mechanic standpoint my only gripe with sorcerers is that they do not get anything extra as they level.  They are a bit front loaded and this makes it a little less exciting to level as all other characters do get neat stuff as they level in addition to BAB and saving throw increases and increase spell selection.   If there is a prestige class that allows you to gain spells AND get cool abilities there is no reason whatsoever to stay a sorcerer except for flavor and just saying you are a pure sorcerer.</blockquote>
