Which class is more fun in Guild Wars, the Archer or the Warrior?

I am trying the Guild Wars free trial right now. I would like opinions on which class is more fun to play.Which class is more fun in Guild Wars, the Archer or the Warrior?
I'm afraid "being more fun to play" is extremely personal... it highly depends on the type of gameplay you like. People who like to get up close, stand in the middle of a group of enemies and survive against all odds, will probably like the warrior the most.
People who like to stay at range and deal damage from a distance, possibly sending on their pet or companions to take the bulk of the damage, will probably like the ranger the most.

Personally I really like the ranger profession, and in combination with the flexible secondary profession system that Guild Wars has, this is an extremely versatile class... ranging from a standard high damage dealing barrage ranger, through pet master, to the powerful ranger-ritualist spirit master (and lots of options in between). But your probably will not be able to really enjoy most of that in the trial... in pre-searing Ascalon, I'd recommend the powerful ranger-mesmer combo.

But actually, because of the secondary profession system, you can actually set up both professions to do almost exactly the same - the most important difference is the profession's primary attribute, in other words if you place more value on ranger's Expertise (reduced energy cost for a lot of skills) or on the Warrior's Strength (increased armor penetration).
So in the end, it all comes back down to what you yourself like to play most...Which class is more fun in Guild Wars, the Archer or the Warrior?
I like to battle as tanks, so Warriors are always more fun to me. Archer is decent, but Warrior just has that zing I like.
