I agree, but certainly not all launchers are at the same maturity. I love Steam because it's so much greater than the sum of its parts -- community controller layouts, cloudsaves, Workshop, forums and community content, a marketplace. I do have other launchers with a fair share of games (GOG for example), but still it's not nearly the experience of Steam.

The exception to this is GOG -- They, and publishers/developers that release on their store, should be supported whenever possible.
Not perfect, but miles above the alternatives.
I believe they manage this because they have a monopoly on the world's supply, and they only 'loan' them to zoos on the condition that they still belong to China (including any offspring).
I hope this means we eventually see other Battle.net games come to Steam, even as a showing of good faith. I'd love to see some of the older Blizzard games on Steam.
