Only Steam. I use GoG and Amazon, but neither of those require a client.

For the most part, it's Steam for most games with Desura for indie titles for me... though thanks to HumbleBundle, Indie Royale and so on I usually end up with a copy in both accounts, and in that scenario it's the Steam one that gets installed.
I DO have an Origin account, but it is a terrible, buggy pile of horror and I do not enjoy using it.
I got a BeamDog account purely for the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, but if it comes out elsewhere then I may uninstall it. No insult intended to BeamDog, it's just that the fewer accounts I have to deal with the better.
Does GOG's downloader count?

Right now only Steam and Desura. I don't use Desura that much though.

Mostly Steam but also Origin and UPlay.
Also, GOG, but that's not much of a client but a downloader.

I usualy use Evolve to play with friends when can't set up a lan party,and the game has lan only.It tracks ingame time,it has full support on a hell lot of games,and you can chat with your friends while ingame,and has support for some of the IM out there,it's pretty cool.But i like steam too,so maybe that's why felt Evolve more like a natural followup of steam as an old games VPN client.
On the other side i really dislike Uplay

I'm mostly only using Steam but I also have Desura and Origin intalled. Altough, in Origin's case, I just use it to register my EA Steam titles on there as well for backup purpose. I've never actually installed or launched a game through there.

Steam and Origin.
I'll probably use Desura as well in the future.
I've only got one game on there and haven't bothered to install the client.

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.
