There are definitely better options for serious competitive gamers. I have a small collection of arcade sticks and six-button fight pads, but I like messing around with new stuff too.
I can't say that I was any better using the Steam controller (not that I'm any good to start with, but that's another story), but the real story I guess is that I wasn't much worse either.
I've seen some demos where people used the accelerometer to play Street Fighter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0YGzURzThY) which could open up the game to some people with physical limitations. I'm a fan of anything that gets more people into playing games.
That the Steam Controller is more customizable than a lot of controllers to me is its biggest strength. And now, with the ability to 3d print mods, I think it's even better.
