That's a mistake you make once.
But... WoW isn't TOR. For my own reference, why do you expect the "good side" of TOR to mirror the "good side" of WoW?

Also, I've played only a bit of WoW. Is Alliance really that underpowered?

I don't personally like the Empire per-say as I do love the Sith culture. It's all about the Sith lore for me. I tried out the Republic and honestly one of the reasons I deleted my Jedi Knight was the way he held his lightsaber. Looks like hes playing baseball.

Snipers are cool, so I rolled a Sniper. Just so happened I lucked into the best storyline in the game. The conflict between the Sith, Imperial Intelligence and your own moral compass is very interesting.

1) Better stories.
2) Better looking gear
3) Classes have more flavor
4) Imp side isn't plagued with the sky-lasers visual glitch like the republic
5) Ships look better
6) Lightning vs pebbles
7) Vibroknives vs fists
8) Mandalorians vs randomtrooperfromcutscene002

The accent.
I mean.. they make everything sound so posh. I'll believe anything, if it's said with an accent like that.

Because Alliance/Republic=Blue and Horde/Empire=Red. It's already programmed in your mind as being related.

Republic is expected to be "good" and I can assume will draw in kids and carebears. Empire is about being powerful and cruel so I'd expect a more mature group there. You EVE players will know carebears (least the pirates will)

You ARE aware that the largest MMO study ever done pegged the Horde as the younger side, right?
