HEe...
Normal users NEED a automatic patch system. Like windowsupdate, or steam.
ME, you and powers users dont need that, and hate that, but we are less than 8% of users*
As a "windowsupdate" alike tool, Steam work ok. Ok, Its somewhat slow starting games for some reason, but works.
And yes, we, the power users and coders, miss zimbillions of features, but normal users dont need that features.
note: *usability its often a tradeoff for flexibility

I think Valve fucked up in many ways with their Steam and imposig it as a gaming platform. Apart from the fact is still buggy, it's slow , "preparing to play Half Life 2" takes ages, takes away version controlling from you, I want to downlaod patches myself, and have them on my HDD , so I can install - uninstall them as I want, when I want, how I want.
