I have no stability problems with Steam. I just don't see any benefit from it.

If my game is unstable, it's not exactly rocket science to get the latest patch off the Net.
I like to have a disc with my games, so I don't use it to buy stuff.
If I want a free mod I can use Google.

On the downside:
It did force me to wait for Half-Life2 for over a year as I heard it's a real PITA on 56k.
If I want to play my perfectly stable HL2 I don't want to wait 5 minutes for it to dl and install a patch/update.

Don't hate it, but I would be just as happy (or happier) if it dissapeared tomorrow.
