Still no SteamPlay option for games with broken naitve version? Like some of Feral games? Sad... Maybe it coming later. I hope...

Say what you want about Valve, but they certainly aren't slacking when it comes to the lower level stuff.

The interface itself might be dated and in a dire need of upgrading, but the technology in the lower layers is really quite nicely cared for, even for the projects that don't directly involve Steam.

The interface is a little dated, but it's not that bad. It supports skins, and if you don't like any of that, isn't Big Picture Mode pretty much what you're expecting?

The 0-byte downloads is a MUCH welcome fix. That problem was pretty annoying. Can't say I faced any of the other bugs, but it's nice to see them fixed anyway.

I agree.

I also think - although it's a small one - it's annoying that the system tray icon in KDE doesn't open the application window on a (double)click
