I tried that for most of 2013, but ultimately didn't stick with it. Although Steam/SteamOS has proper 10-foot support, individual games tend to not work well in that mode. Many games lack controller support on PC that they have on consoles (many of Valve's own games, the Mass Effect games) or have annoying launchers (the new Elder Scrolls or Fallout games, for example). Some games also run in a borderless fullscreen mode that doesn't work correctly with Steam's Big Picture mode (Mercenary Kings is one example of this).

Consoles, on the other hand, are designed around a ten-foot OS with none of the launcher garbage and gamepad-only controls; the tighter integration sands off these rough edges. Personally, I'd love to have my (substantial) collection of PC games working on my TV, but it's not quite there yet.
