Origin has no where near the number of features that Steam does. It has only received minor updates in the last 2+ years since it was released and still missing a ton of features. EA just wanted a competitor to Steam, once it was finished they washed their hands of it. This isn't me being a Steam fanboy, there is literally no comparison between the two services, Origin is hopelessly, hilariously outmatched. Origin right now is as bad as Steam was at launch, only Steam fixed all their major issues and started adding features within about 6 months. Origin hasn't seen any major updates in about 2 years.
Really, I mean other than the games catalog and the community, there's nothing that to me at least Steam really excels at. Oh, and well Steam has much better security measures for sure...
The games library on Origin is fine, for the amount of games you can really have on Origin, the download manager is way better and not anywhere near as sluggish at Steam's, the chat boxes and the browser are both easier to use, and the overall look of the interfaces is miles ahead of Steam. I'm not trying to persuade anybody into moving from Steam to Origin (I use Steam 99% of the time) but if Origin is crap then Steam is a blatant insult (pretty sluggish too).
Should be noted that also one of the most important services that there could be, the money back guarantee (IMO as usual), is absent from Steam for the most part and the Steam catalog has the actual largest library of worthless crap in existence due to the volume of games on Steam. So many games I would've loved to get refunds from...
Depending on what you wanna use the programs for I can see how you can praise Steam and absolutely hate other options, but for me at least Steam is really falling behind and considering the resources at Valve's disposal it's pretty pathetic that they still manage to have such a crappy service going without ever actually improving it.
