Some people just like shooting. I know I prefer to use the Soldier because that class has the greatest weapon variety, access to ARs from the start, and little dependence on Powers. When I'm playing, I even forget that I've got some Powers to use, like Concussive Blast or Heightened Adrenaline Rush. If I played as an Adept or another Power-dependent class, I simply wouldn't be able to use them to their full potential.
