Unless you’re going to tell me that Itch has a dynamic library filtering setting, family-sharing, the ability to have local machines on the network speed up my downloads, and the ability to dynamically remap controller profiles per-game, then yeah, steam is more user-friendly.
First off, what does Game Jolt even have? Indie games are fun but if the roster is only indie games I’m not gonna find much to play with my friends.
IMO itch.io is not a steam competitor, they are an indie game and game asset hosting platform and seem to be aimed at developers more than players. The search function is alright. But downloading an exe is definitely less user friendly than having a GUI with a play button.
More user friendly than itch and Game Jolt?

User friendly would be keeping store and library/launcher separate
Like Epic/GOG/Amazon and Heroic (though I would like another company to come along and add a forum/review module to it)
Way more
Definitely more user friendly than Itch. Search filters are downright frustrating on Itch.
Never even heard of Game Jolt, so it can’t be that good or useful.
