popperik: - Gave me BSODs regularly
If you were getting BSODs from using Galaxy then chances are there is something more fundamentally wrong with your system.
Not using it yet, I might if screen shots get implemented.
I already have Steam. I have no need for this poser.
I have it on my desktop, but I stoped using it on my laptop : without delta patching or compression, Galaxy is simply crappy if you have a slow internet connexion. With my laptop's 250kB/s, downloading 9GB every time a 5.2GB game has a 30MB patch is... unoptimal...

With a good 'net speed, on the other hand, the automatic update is quite useful for newer games.

I used it for the chat functions. Never to download a game. I was supposed to download the AVP 2000 with it but GOG's servers kept on effing up and stopping the download with some error.

So I have no interest in using it. Not to mention the security problems that they don't want to hire a professional firm to uncover. I'm fine with HTTP and have no plans to buy new games that require frequent patching or online features from GOG anyway. They missed their chance to make it big and useful.
I usually keep it uninstalled, but sometimes I install it out of boredom to never use it until the next uninstallation.
I think it's pretty useless.
Haven't touched it. I figured that I might as well let everyone else rush in like it was World War I.

Anyhow, I am a bit worried when it comes to Van Helsing: The Final Cut. This is because a beta tester said on the Steam forums that there was endgame content that require playing online to access. Here's hoping that person is wrong about the GOG edition.
I know not what strange garbled language you all speak of. The only Galaxy I need to be aware of is Milky and has a Way.
I played a bit around with galaxy when it was in alpha since I like testing new stuff. But after that I uninstalled it and have not bothered with it since then.
Maybe you should change the topic name in "is anyone using Galaxy"? XD

I don't use it either, mostly because right now it still has nothing to offer for me that the downloader does not do already.
Once its multiplayer functions are up and running and the GOGdownloader will eventually become useless, though, I plan to use it whenever I can gather a few people to play. I still dream of private multiplayer lobbies for old games... if that happened, you could call me an happy gamer.
I don't use it, but I have it installed.
Me + I guess many other GOGers. :D
I use it. I do feel adventurous sometimes...

htown1980: I haven't tried it yet. I really don't have any intention of doing so, maybe one day I will. Right now my games work fine without it.

How many of you have not yet tried it or have tried it and uninstalled it (assuming it is something that you install / uninstall)???
I've tried it and uninstalled it. I see no reason to use it for now. Maybe if I get interested in some multiplayer game, but not for now. TeamFortress 2 is the only multiplayer game I play now, otherwise I am single-player only.

I don't need the social features of the client either, I get enough socialism from GOG forums. Also for reading the GOG homepages/forums the client didn't feel as good as a web browser, as the text was too tiny and I couldn't zoom it like I can with web browsers (not sure if this has changed).

What I am using heavily though nowadays is gogrepo.py, in order to keep my local GOG game/extra collection up to date. It is so easy to try out different GOG games now, just launch the installer and wait a bit. No need to wait to download a multi-gigabyte game just in order to try it out.

Nope. Still no good reason to use it.
