While there are complaints about the search and filter options (complaints I wholeheartedly agree with), Valve is still working out the kinks and aiming to make the service better. Allowing gamers to vote for the games they want to buy and play only makes sense, as opposed to relegating all non-publisher indie titles to a back-corner section on the service like the Xbox Live Indie Games channel, or keeping a lot of these titles buried like the Nintendo eShop, the Greenlight really does bring a democratic meritocracy to the whole indie community because games people want to play can be voted for by people who want to play them. There is a small group of gamers and developers who complain about Steam's Greenlight process, but I have to say that this is the best thing made available for the vast array of incalculably good and bad indie games out there. In other words, patching PC games back in the day used to be a pain and Steam takes that pain away.
Back in the day if a game didn't work right or required a patch you would have to go through the trouble of visiting the publisher/developer's website and manually downloading the patch and then sometimes you would have to do some file-Tetris and rearrange certain key files or replace some files but leave others alone, etc., etc. Still, for the vast majority of games across Steam's library of available software titles, the automatic update patching keeps titles running clean and pristine.

With new beta programs like Steam Pipe and automatic patching updates made available for every game in the Steam library, what's not to love about this feature? Well, technically for things like Garry's Mod or Half-Life, the frequent and uncontrollable updates can sometimes break the game, and given that turning off automatic updates doesn't always work as intended, it can create a bit of headache.
