New steam client opinions?

The new steam client has finally been forced upon us. Some of the changes are good, its been a long time coming that you can see who owns what game in your friends list... no end of times was I annoyed getting invited to games I dont own and visa vera... I only wish there was a "classic" client option too.

Don't really care. I've been using the UI beta for a while and it was fine.

So far it's been quite good.

Me no likey!! But it's just because today is my first day using it, just gotta get used to it.

I felt that way at first, but then it grew on me and I've loved it over the past month.

Steam finally has some sex appeal.

Its brilliant! If anyone says that they should not have done this then I think your an idiot!

Why? It's more cluttered and you have to click a lot more times to get the information that you would get in one click on one screen in the old version.

Is it cluttered? yes it is with a lot of useful information, for the game pages, for the main store page some "not that importing things" are there and some like them but knowing what games your friends got or the number of users on Steam isn't important, the library isn't cluttered.

It's better in any possible way.

I don't care about graphics, but it does seem to have more information displayed up front. Before you might have to click on a few things or go to the steam site to see some stuff. Now almost everything is integrated into the client. My favorite change so far is the improved web browser. The old one was really choppy and never seemed to work very well (website wouldn't load, or weird formatting).

I used the beta for a week or so and didn't like it really, was too slow and cluttered. Seems a little faster I guess.

I can understand why Steam is now coming to MAC, it has to match the god awful MAC OS.

Thaaaat's why they needed to change it!
I actually don't mind, but if that's the decision it's pretty lame

Quite good in my opinion. It has a download section where you can finally see the size of the file you're downloading and such. Also when playing source games, it tells me who else on my friends list also owns the game and who is actually playing it.

The only downside for me was that I had to switch the normal one to update my L4D2 DLC because when using the Steam UI beta, it didn't download the DLC for L4D2.

It removed some of my games from the game list -.-

can anyone tell me if you can now add non steam games to your list and have it tracked.

Wow. They figured out how to implement a "maximize window" button.

The future is NOW!!!

Got no problems with the new steam, and i like the new library.

So go valve :)

If anything, I like how they changed the layout of the forums, it's easier on the eyes.

Now if Gamespot took the same route as well...

Meh, I don't like it.
