how good is Desura?

It kinda sucks in my opinion, I don't see any reason to join.
It's that good.

Kind of like this: ############

Or, in numbers, about 27.3, I'd think.

Does that answer your specific question? ;)
It's good. Most of their installers are DRM free, so you don't necessarily need client. It's really nice to keep games, and has auto-update for games, and many bundles give Desura keys. Also, it's not memory hog, so you can keep it running at all times.

Pretty much this - although I'll add the bonus of the free games too (not just MMO stuff like on Steam) and access to ModDB / IndieDB too, so it has its uses.
It's useful for indie games. It's one of the only drm free alternatives to GOG. Although i don't think it is 100% drm free. Kind of like a mix between gamersgate and GOG. Kind of low key if you ask me.
It confuses me a bit since I can't seem to find a page that lists what games I have on there. =/

Throught the web go to your account and games. It should generate an URL like this:
http://www.desura.com/members/ your user name /games

if yer using the site I can understand your confusion - but if yer using the client, goto "play" on the top left

I think it's safe to assume it's broken. (check screenshot)

Look near the top of the page, near the right-hand side. You should see your profile name (next to the 'logout' button). Click your name, then click the 'games' tab.
