Origin - Don't use it that much, I'd run it mostly for Burnout Paradise. Its not really bad, just needs to get some features like steam's community at the very least.
Desura - Thanks to all those Indie Royale keys and some of those greenlight bundles that I got, I decided to install it. Its not user friendly. At all. I got really lost when I first used it, you really do appreciate Valve's work on their client after you use desura's client.

origin only slightly buggy?
how about logging in to it only to see a message saying that someone else is signed into your account onto another computer and will be logged out,having to change your password only to see the same message, proceeding to download battlefield 3 only for it to take 14 hours,going to play it the next day, getting a message saying it is corrupted,attempting to repair it,then seeing that it is still corrupted, trying to uninstall it, but then it doesn't uninstall???
This legitimately happened to me this week.
Origin is the second best gaming client but that isn't saying a lot.
Since bio-ware seem to have lost their touch and have flopped with the mass effect and dragon age series, I can say that I wouldn't even have it if not for Battlefield
Desura is another client that is pretty good but is only for indies.

But at least you don't actually have to run Origin to play Bad Company. I play it as non-steam game even though I have it installed and registered via Origin.

Steam, Desura, Origin, uPlay (If you can even consider it one), GFWL... (because I have too T_T)
I don't mind Origin actually. I haven't had any problems with it and I've played a-lot of ME3 and BF3.
GFWL on the other hand... oh god, hnnnng.

Steam for most of my games because the games are the cheapest most times.
Than I have some game on Origin. I like that the client is faster and that none of my games require Origin to play.
And I also use Desura for some indie games, mainly because many games have Linux versions and you also get direct downloads for the games so you don't need the client.
I wouldn't care when I have to use more clients (and DRMs), I just buy the games where they are cheapest, no matter what client/DRM.

I only use Steam at the moment. This is mostly because my current laptop can't handle much gaming.
I will probably be forced to use Origin, if I want to play titles like Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4 when they are released, and I have a PC capable of running them.

Like most everyone here, I'm partial to Steam, most likely for the simple sake that I've been using the client for years now, long before anyone else jumped on the bandwagon. But man, there just seems to be so many knockoffs nowadays. It's getting hard to tell which is which, much less whether one might be a mandatory client (has to be running to play a game) or simply something used for organization and/or purchasing & downloading.
Origin seems to be the other "big boy" on the block, and if visible feedback is any indication has what appears to be a 90% hate/10% love thing going on with users (mostly due to EA, and only slightly due to Origin being buggy).
GMG has their Capsule client, but I don't know much about it. I've begun seeing some sort of generic client being re-branded for use on various sites, but obviously still the same program. Desura, of course, but I'm not entirely sure if that counts. lol
GameFly freaked me out the other day. Got Bad Company 2 from them, only to discover that I needed their client to download it! Fortunately the game installs and plays without the client, if desired, so no biggie there. Hope all their games are like that.
So, what clients do you like/use/know of, and what are your opinions of them? If you're anything like me you've already got Steam and simply don't want to start using others, even if they're decent. Wouldn't it be cool, though, if someone created a multi-client similar to how Trillian did for ICQ/AIM/MSN, etc, so you could sign-in to all such services from a single client? Now that would be cool as hell.
