I find the site good, but I only got grief from the downloader (back when I tried it a year or 2 ago, it may have gotten better since), for all of its slowness Steam's installation and updating process is much more hands-off and convenient.

The downloader is quite smooth, at least now. You still have to install and update manually, which is a bit annoying.

The one really cool thing in Steam is savegame sync, but not even all games support it.
