Take claims of unbalance with a grain of salt, because actively maintained games are always getting patches to change things around. Plus, as an ex-player of MMORPG's as well as many RTS's, it's clear that EVERY player of every side will claim imbalance no matter what the balance of the game is. Sometimes it's as simple as a guy not liking rushing that prompts the "blame the game" syndrome.

I got Supreme Commander and it is extremely slow on my computer, so I don't even play it. This despite the fact that I was one of the biggest fans there was of Total Annihilation, probably, and have been waiting for the sequel in white hot anticipation for ages. My computer is far from the bottom of the line, too.

C&C 3 is quite fun offline, but I got distracted from the game and never tried it online. I will say that the online interface for patches and matches and especially getting games and commented games sorted out was very cumbersome and sloppy even after multiple patches.
