I was never happy with Steam. It always seemed bloated with unwanted features that had nothing to do with playing a game, constantly wanted to run in the background and update, launched at a snail’s pace.
I’ve found myself liking EGS a lot more because it’s clean and simple.
Both are owned by big gross corporations, so really I’d prefer no launcher at all.
If speed is a problem, The EGS is painfully slow. I don’t use is because it needs like 15 seconds to load the library (and it’s just the part that is on screen if you scroll, it needs more time to load the games), in the rest of the launchers is practically instant
I have the opposite experience. Initial load speeds between the two are about the same, however in my experience steam can re-open instantly when minimized to the system tray, while EGS takes multiple seconds.
