I'm not an avid steam user, too much lock-in for my taste... But whatever. Steam coming to Linux is awesome for the GNU/Linux desktop.
The client in itself is simply terrible though :
-Who in their right mind would decide that the X button doesn't close but only minimizes the app?
-Every menu in the client is a subwindow! WTF? Implications you ask? If I have a glow around active windows, the steam client keeps on losing and regaining focus, thus gains a very annoying flashing glow.
-The client doesn't follow desktop themes, AT ALL. Suppose you mix around the order of minimize/maximize buttons, does steam follow it? (I am not requesting they follow the desktop theme, just keep the behaviour I want).
-must have flash...
-As said before, ubuntu-centrism is mostly based on FUD, although I understand their position. (Gentoo/Arch user here)
That said, Steam on linux is still fantastic news, even though I will personnally never use it for more than testing. All my games will be coming from GOG.
