The xbox app has improved a lot, but even now its kind of garbage. It's been terrible, slow, buggy, bad explore interface, and just sort of bad for literally years. And instead of updating itself, it wants me to launch the microsoft store to update the xbox app, and then the microsoft store bugs me to update the "microsoft tips" app or the "Microsoft people" app or "MSN Weather" stuff I've never used or want on my computer. Oh you updated the xbox app but you didn't update the xbox identity provider, go back to microsoft store or otherwise you can't get into the game because apparently they didn't think to include xbox identity providing into the xbox app.
steam sits in my tray. it asks me to hit the update button when there's an update, and then it updates itself and I don't need to go somewhere or else or get hassled to find out why the heck there's an update to "Your Phone" app that I didn't know was on this computer and why microsoft thinks I should install it.
at least they've managed to get the windows store app itself to run a little better than the last few years. It was as guilty as any app of being a slow unstable POS.
steam just kinds of win by default by not being a massive pile of shit.
