In a recent conversation with them on Kickstarter, Wasteland 2 developers confirmed they would release on Desura. I do not know all the stores they will use, but this is still good news for Desura supporters like me.

It seems from the consumer/developer point of view the best choice.
It offers direct payment to developer, and DRM free downloads for consumers.
It even supports other distribution platforms..
However I agree that separate website just for store would be an awesome idea. Did you ask Humble Team for that?
If one doesn't like or want the desktop client, they don't have to use it. They can just download installers directly (at least on the ~50 games I own on Desura), and manage all their DRM-free updates by hand. I've mostly stopped doing that, and am now using a Desurium release-candidate (the GPL version of their desktop update client).
So, yeah... W2 on Desura is a huge plus for me, and a relief as well. However, the point made about revenue is definitely a strong one; to my knowledge, all the large-ish triple-A and indie digital distributors (Steam, Origin, Gamersgate, GOG, Desura, etc) take a 30% premium, versus Humble taking (I think?) 5%.
Still, for me the convenience on Desura is worth a slightly higher pricetag (which I've yet to notice yet, BTW).
