The hilarious part is, yes, I don't care how fast my launcher is.
But... also, Steam is by far the slowest, least responsive program on my computer.
"Faster than Steam" feels like a joke.
I don't use a lot of non-open source applications (and not a lot of desktop applications generally). Have they gotten so bad that the slowness of Steam doesn't feel bad to people anymore?
I think it's just a select few people that have issues with Steam. I've never once thought or felt that steam was slow. Some games start up slow, but that's not because of Steam. Just using the program is quite responsive.
