On one hand, thanks to the nonstop giveaways, I have way more games on Epic than I do on Steam, so I have a reason to continue using Epic.
On the other hand, Epic's launcher runs like shit, constantly refreshes my library page, slow as hell, glitchy as hell, and makes me feel dirty when I use it.
Steam is just so cozy and is on the whole a much more enjoyable PC gaming experience. I imagine 95% of Epic users are people like me: sign in on Thursdays for the free game and then bounce.
Have you tried Heroic Games Launcher?
I know about its existence, but I'm not sure how safe is it as a way to prevent Epic (and potentially Tencent) from tracking my personal information.
they have no excuse for it to be slow as shit
I talked to their support about the library force refresh and it's apparently intended. That library refresh is literally the only reason the EGS isn't open all the time like Steam is. Random data usage is bad, and can fuck off. I do not need random lag spikes.

I still have more games on Steam, however, Itch.io has had a couple of insane bundles in the last couple of years, which mean I have way more games and content on Itch than on Steam, which I did not see coming. I still use Steam the most, though, because I'm used to their interface and it works really well on Linux.
