Digital distribution vs Hard copy

I bought some games off steam, when they made the christmas deals (Probably the only time I've ever seen a game cheaper on it than on retail) and I regret it quite a bit.
I would gladly pay much more for a game when I can hold the copy in my hands and put it on my shelf.

Do you regret it only because you cannot put it on the shelf, or are there other reasons?

downloading big games sucks; what V-r0ck said; except for those deals the games are always horribly overpriced; no manual and no other goodies (reading digital manuals sucks); can't lend them to my friends; if my steam account gets hijacked I'm fucked; only being able to select one language and everytime I change them, some games delete themselves with no warning and need to be downloaded from scratch.

I have no problems buying indie games on steam btw.
