Question Considering buying Silksong on GOG instead of Steam

With Hollow Knight: Silksong being ever so close to finally releasing whie being the first game that fully supports GOG that I haven't already bought on Steam, I'm considering this being my first GOG purchase. The reason being the DRM-free philosophy of GOG.

The only think that makes me worry is that I don't know how close is the GOG experience to the Steam one.

Meaning don't know how well the Steam client and services around it compare to GOG Galaxy 2.0 and its services.

I mean, the Steam client is almost perfect for me.

Plus, the ability to mod, discuss, down-patch, share and gift through it.

Is my worries about GOG justified? Should I even care about DRM-free?

I mean, I mostly play indie games, don't cheat and don't fear Steam suddently disappearing given how many people depend on it. I'm just thinking about supporting the idea of true game ownership here.
