The only reason I downloaded Origin was to play the Mass Effect 3 demo. I know people have been railing against Origin, but I personally haven't encountered any real issues using it. I'm still primarily a Steam user, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't give another service a try. Will Origin give Steam a run for its money? Right now? No. It's too new a service and it simply doesn't even come close to having a selection that Steam has. Steam's got a major head start, and Origin has some serious catching up to do, but I'm certainly keeping an eye on it.
