Steam Big Picture Mode - ever use it?

Open

Just realised that in 10+ years of using Steam, I've never more than glanced at it - or, like the other day, accidently clicked the button.
Any benefits of using it at a PC without a controller?
Do any just prefer that interface? Curious.

Do you ever go to Big Picture Mode

Big what now?

Only by accident... grr.

Occasionally.

Only when using a controller or if attached to a TV.

A lot / always!

lol - same. Took me a few secs to find the exit button the other day...
Had another look this morning and with K&M it's of course cumbersome. The one thing that was cool, was browsing my screenshots full screen. Don't think that's possible in desktop Steam without opening the folder?

It's great if you only want to use a controller, even between games themselves. If you have enough space for a mouse (and keyboard) then I think it's a lot easier to navigate with mouse in Steam, and swap for controller with your game.

(I almost never use it, but when I need to, it's really good)

I only ever use it when I'm using my steamlink, but that's decently often.

For some time I was using it a lot. Just treated my PC as a game console, even made my Windows to boot directly to Steam Big Picture Mode.
