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.
How is Itch user friendly? It literally just gives you a download and lets you figure the rest out yourself. If you have a big library, like if you bought one of those big charity bundles, you can’t even filter or search it in any way.

More user friendly than itch and Game Jolt?

Yes.
How so?

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)
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.
