Wow, not bad.
Same here, but with Mabinogi instead of maple.

Welcome to Nexon - First stop, dissatisfaction.
The problem here being that download speed isn't the debated issue.
You can download all your games instantly for all I care, but when people have problems with GFWL crashing their games or even stopping them from playing the games at all, that's when people start to have problems.
Hell, this complaint was recently discussed in the Dark Souls thread and you just wrote it off as the person being at fault.
YOUR EXPERIENCE DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE EXPERIENCES OF ALL GFWL USERS.
Correct me if I am wrong, but... the debate here is about Origin, not GFWL. GFWL sucks, period. That's a well agreed opinion by just about everyone. But both some Steam games AND some Origin games (I would assume) have GFWL integration. I have GTA IV on Steam, which has GFWL integration, and I would assume some of the games on Origin have it as well.
For the record, I've been using Steam since way back in the day, when it got the same flak that Origin gets now, back when updates would completely break installs on a regular basis, the program was laggier than anything, crashed very frequently, etc. Origin is a relatively new service, and I'm not surprised it's going through the same rough patch as Steam once did. Am I annoyed that Origin removed EA games from Steam? Yes. It takes a platform that now works quite well and removes diversity from it. HOWEVER, it's market competition, which is not only necessary but also normal.
What happened to Steam users who had EA games already purchased? Are the games still available for download to those users only? I am looking through my list and can't find any that I can remember being EA games, and I don't remember if I owned any or not.
Edit - Burnout Paradise was EA published, I own it, but I still have the option to buy a gift copy for a friend... o_o (on Steam)
