It's no question that the Steam Interface is slightly outdated, But how would you change it for the better?

Make it less reliant on Chromium. There's no good reason my library page should use nearly 1gb ram when it had nearly 0 footprint before moving it to Chromium.

And if they roll another chromium-based memory leak into the release? Fuck sake. I spent months only able to run Steam with Chromium disabled, something that's no longer an option.

They should focus on performance over UI changes. It takes 20s to open on my fast gaming laptop. That's not far off from EGS and Windows itself. Meanwhile, the electron-based open source Heroic launcher takes 3s to open.
