It's a very good start, but I agree with you that it's not quite there yet. Many of the humble bundle indie developers are slow to publish their games to the platform. I'd also like to see better Steam Cloud support; having to copy my game profiles and save games from Windows to Linux can be tedious. I was expecting the full Valve library available before it was officially out of beta but I guess this will happen over time, like it did with the Mac OS version.
Regarding Anomaly Warzone Earth, it's working fine for me so long as I disable Steam Community in game. I had input lag before doing that.
