Some of it is highly dependant on your internet connection. But the games library seems to be snappy with 300 games. I find that updates can run extremely slow though, 1-2MB patch taking 5 minutes to download!

I remember when Steam WAS really horrible. The green client ran so poorly and was extremely slow at updating anything,

I'd argue steam has never stopped sucking, but it's always been reliable. I'll take reliability over usability any day when money's involved.
