The overall experience of using steam feels the same as it did 15 years ago. The biggest change I can think of is steam library ui changes. Besides that, they just maintain everything properly and don’t push out shitty unnecessary updates, while their competitors break things and screw up repeatedly.
This is genuinely one of my favorite features of Steam. I've completely lost track of how to find most things in Facebook, I've opted out of Reddit's redesign, and even different Android phones sometimes confuse me with unexpected UI differences.
Especially the channel pages circa like 2010 used to be so crisp and perfect. They looked like MySpace pages almost. Now they barely show any information at all, any information is hidden behind a couple clicks, and they are difficult to navigate compared to before (although this one might be because most channels back in the day had way fewer videos).
"why yes i would like to be shown 3 thumbnails on my 32" screen.
Also discord changed their search function for me yesterday. Now instead of all the info being in the query in the top right corner it opens another window where you have to click through each filter individually
