One of my friends calls Delft the 'Disneyland of Dutch history' because there is so much to see that is related to Dutch history (the bullet that killed William the Silent, the graves of all the Kings and Queens).
However, Rotterdam is certainly not awful. There are beautiful things to see, such as the: * Erasmusbrug: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasmus_Bridgehttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Erasmusbrug_bij_avond.png * Museum Boijmans van Beuningen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_Boijmans_Van_Beuningenhttp://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_Boijmans_Van_Beuningen * The Rem Koolhaas-designed Kunsthal.
And if you are even remotely interested in modern art you should really visit the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague for the largest collection of Mondrian paintings in the world.

(But I'm not NPOV, in this, as one of my sons lives in Delft)

Frankly, Rotterdam is awful. If you have time, do pay a visit to Delft, it's about a quarter of an hour away by train or car. Lovely old center.
Ah.. Vermeer's view of Delft...
