I used to really dislike it because my internet connection sucked. Now that my internet connection is passable I only mildly dislike Steam. If I had a very fast/stable internet connection I'd probably view Steam positively..
I've always had this impression that you have less control of a copy of a game purchased on steam. How true is that?
No.
It is not true.
The only thing is that Steam games get installed into the Steam dir. You can choose install locations for the Steam Library. But you cannot create a custom install location.
Other than that, there's no noticeable difference.
Okay, can you purchase games on one computer and then install them on a different computer? I ask because my "financial" computer is a completely different box for security, and I don't like using my credit cards on my gaming computer.
No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.
Sure, you can install Steam with one account on multiple PCs, though it can only be active in online mode on one of them at a time. Your purchases carry over.
Slight fix/addition.
You can have offline mode enabled on as many machines as you want... even playing multiplayer LAN games with the same account. IIRC, some games in the 90's would not allow you to connect the same account/CD-key to LAN games.

Also you can share games across multiple accounts with family sharing.
All in all I can also recommend Steam (which is surprising, considering my initial reluctance, some years ago, to get me a Steam account)
