But I'm just not that into the shooting and I guess I'm just not as into throwing saw blades at zombies as some are. I think Portal makes much better use of the tools that Valve has at its disposal.

Yeah, there's plenty of shooting gallery games out there (and sure, I like shooting things too) but I feel Half Life's immerse, believable world; it's variety and it's intelligence and wit are what make it a great game.
I feel it goes back to what Half Life has always done - taking shooters above merely shooting.
