But I still feel consoles do some types of games better.

And as Despare mentioned, security/anti-piracy "features" can become a pain in the ass. Eg Starforce, Bioshock authentication.
i know, but if you know where to look, they can be bypassed or done away with.

I have learned to live happily with steam, the updates suck, but i consider it a small price to pay to not have to re-install from cds every time my pc needs to be rebuilt (which isnt a commentary on their ability to be a gaming platform, i am a programmer who uses his pc for work and play)
