What I like:

Fast servers.
In-game UI (which can be used for non-Steam games as well).
Friends list.
Easy way to purchase games.
Holiday deals.
Non-intrusive DRM (mostly)
Greenlight was a nice idea, but needs work (mainly better QA on Steam's part)

What I don't:

Client itself is slow as balls.
EULA/TOS is sorta frightening.
Almost always wants to update (not necessarily bad, but annoying)

DayZ (there's already a clone of it on Steam... something War Z. Ofc Steam would promote this.)

Why wouldn't they? Also, no. Don't like it? Don't use it. GOG, Origin, GameFly, and others are out there to try for yourself.

Was under development at the same time. Only turned out worse of a game than DayZ. Oh and Arma 2 is also on steam (What DayZ is a mod of... durr...).

What's so good about steam you ask. Well for starters it's a centered launcher for all your games that acts as a fairly laid low DRM for the games as well. Nothing is more annoying than having 100 different launcher platforms updating alongside of the darn games. Not to mention having 20000 different accounts for every *dancing* game you ever wanted to play. Now you've only logged into your one account in steam, clicky on a game and get to it.

Personally I have quite a big list these days already and frankly I even forget I have some games from time to time as digital versons. So, I check the steam games list and "ooooh" I see that gold nugget of a classic game and install that after a few years of pause.

Basic community tools.
Extensive sales channel.
All games update from the same launmcher whenever update is avail (Naturally you can stop these updates if you need the bandwith)
Trading on certain titles.
Gifting of games and certain content.
Blah blah blah
So on so on so on


Now after that can you tell me... What's so great about individual launchers for all games?

As much as I do encourage people to just live in the woods without connection to the masses and growing their own food, making their own clothes, bulding their own houses and herding their own cattle, chopping woods etc etc etc...
