Well, look at that. Humble Store has a proper storefront now, and they're running a debut sale.

The revenue split has changed, right? I remember some people here said Humble only took 5% of the profits and the rest was for the developers. On the store it says this:
"Get your games and contribute to awesome causes. Here’s where your Humble Store dollars go*: 10% Charity, 75% Creator, 15% Humble Tip."

Holy cow, they're finally accepting direct CC payment. Bout time I can give the middle finger to Paypal and their horrible guest commission fees.

Not. While. It's. Steam. Only.
I've got the retail version, and it's DRM-free. The only catch is that later updates have DRM attached to them, and the Going East expansion requires an activated version. I bought it, but it'll be the last I buy from SCSSoft if they continue down this road.
Since they've been greenlit, they've had this ridiculous obsession with Steam to the detriment of every other distribution platform.

It not only look freaking awesome, it is freaking awesome.
other than that - the best place to get indies just got better.
Though I must admit that I would prefer to give all my monies to the developers, not sure what I think about forced charity yet. When I buy outside of bundles I do like to support the devs mostly. Maybe it is something that will change back to normal after the debut sale? At the moment I would still prefer to buy individual games via the widget...

I bought Rogue Legacy and it told me I already have it on Steam(which I didn't) but it did add it to my account. So the new store seems a little glitchy.

As someone both selling through a Humble Store widget and someone who uses the Humble Store when possible, I've got to say that this isn't quite what I expected, looking to be a way to showcase daily deals like other stores have while simultaneously leaving the games that DON'T do these daily deals obscured.
Who knows. Maybe it'll change over time but as of right now, not sure what to think about it other than that we might as well take advantage of the sales while they last.
