I highly agree!
In fact, I've just recently built a new PC (with my usual multi-boot configuration of Ubuntu, Windows, and another partition to try out different distros) and it was so easy for me to transfer not only my games, but also my saves from my old PC to my new one without any problem at all.
If DRM were always dealt with the way that Steam handles it, I'm sure no one would complain about it. It's been my experience that Steam legitimately cares about the consumer.
That's yet another reason why I'm more than delighted to know that I'll soon be able to have Steam with Ubuntu!
All I know is that I know nothing....
