Portal 2 is WAY better. It's longer, with a better story and puzzles more developed. What is more it also provides workshop and Co-Op, so the 2-3 hours at the very best you could squeeze out of Portal 1 can easily become ten times or so this time.
Having said that, is this week the YvsX week?
If it's so I want to jump on the bandwagon too. :3
Which is better, oranges or monkeys?

i think if you played portal 1 without knowing anything about it first... and you go in thinking it is just a weird puzzle game, then it is the better one. even if that experience is a one-time thing, it still makes it unique. but, the first feels a lot like a beta version of the second one. i think it's really hard to compare them. :S

That's just what I felt too. I really loved Portal, but after playing the second it kind of feels like a prototype to test out the game mechanics for Portal 2.

+1 I think so too.
In relevant analogies:
Portal 1 is somewhat like a cupcake - a very enjoyable tidbit that can consumed in a short period of time, but is delicious and leaves you pretty satisfied.
Portal 2 feels more like the whole cake - It is definitely fuller in some places, with more fluff and whipped cream on it, but it feels like they tried too hard just to bake a bigger cake. The cake may be good, but towards the later half, I was starting to wonder when it would end.
Make no mistake, I still think Portal 2 is excellent. But Portal 1 was a more polished and enjoyable experience for me.

+1. But the reason for that is because I've experienced Portal 1 before 2, and Portal was just something really unique and different. Portal 2 is better in just about anything, but the thing is it doesn't feel as original anymore. Portal 2 doesn't introduce as many new things as Portal 1. So Portal 1 gets my vote just because I had one of the most unique gaming experience from it, and I doubt I'll ever get anything like it.

That's not really a question.. Portal 2 is better in every aspect.. mostly because Valve wanted to make that an actual game, as opposed to Portal 1 which was just a little side project.
Portal is a weird thing though, it's "magical" the first time you play it, and it loses some of that magic the longer you play it, if you started with the first one(which you should) then there is a good chance that you are not as blown away by the second as you were by the first one, even though the second does everything objectively better.
