Edit: Unless we're including the likes of Lutris and Heroic. Those clients are good.

All of that is a lot of work, and they did that all while still being true to PC gaming, not locking down Steam Deck, not shoving draconian DRM down our throats.
Bad redaction let us know that about a quarter of Valve's employees are tasked with "Steam," but they don't have many employees in total.

Users shouldn't be forced to use Steam Play and the settings should work as they're supposed to. I dual-boot and have little use for Proton outside of certain things. I just wanna be able to organize my Steam library by native Linux games, and still can't do something simple as that cause shit is still broken. It's caused me to view Valve far more critically now.
Seriously, it might as well say "Welcome to Valve Software" on the sign, I swear:

Proton is good but it would be very nice to have more granular control over it like Lutris. Needing to enter environment variables into the command line options is annoying. Especially important for games outside of Steam, which is most of the games I play through Wine/Proton.
I don't use community features because I don't like people.
I couldn't tell you about the Steam Deck because I'm Australian
The Steam client also isn't Wayland native yet, and will likely be one of the last notable applications to switch. Can't say the same for Lutris, Heroic, or Bottles.
As I said, I hate the Steam client the least, but I much prefer GOG's complete lack of a launcher.
