Sounds like they need to work on balance then... For both DOW and the table top.
This has been the case for a long, long, time, especially for the table-top.
Also when we are at the subject of favorite factions:
1 Eldar*
2 Tau*
3 Space marines* and Imps
4 Tyranids*
5 Everyone else except chaos
6: chaos
*while I still played the table-top I played these.
