I'm wondering, between stairs and steps, which do you prefer to use more when playing? I'm also asking because I'm having a really hard time using stairs. I think that steps are a lot easier to use, but they are not as aesthetically pleasing and take up more horizontal space than stairs.
I like half-steps better, but screw making my stairways stick out that much farther. I don't want to have to allow 8 spaces of room for a 4-height straight stairway.
I only wish I could make stairs out of smooth stone; cobblestone and wood don't always look right.
I prefer stairs, but in some cases, steps look better.

I use stairs or ladders to chance elevation. I'll use steps as anything but. They look decent head-on, but if you look at it from the side, it looks terrible. I love step flooring, and other decorative functions, though

It's very situational with me. Obviously when space is at a premium, stairs are a must. For some situations, the more relaxed rise of steps is more suitable. Also with Painterly pack half-steps are a nice white marble that looks very stately in a staircase.
Enlighten me? I can never get them to work right XD
Steps all on their lonesome will often do whatever they want, but put one right above another and they'll behave. So e.g. a 4-wide spiral staircase that goes up two blocks per side works perfectly even if when you place in the first step it is heading into the wall.
I like steps because they go better with proper stone than cobblestone steps goes with proper stone. Otherwise I would use stairs if they could be made by proper stone or something not as ugly. Gold? lol.

That way the stairs always point the direction I want, and it looks good, too.
I do use half-steps, but only for special circumstances. A favorite is :

Makes it much easier to get out of the water.

For example, on large stairs or for streets, half-steps. For indoors or actual stairs, well, stairs.
