I am just beginning to learn about the security controls of Steemit, so my opinion is limited at this time. But one thing I have noticed is the transparency and responsiveness of the Dev's. They are open to talk about issues, fixes, and work very fast to address problems. Those behaviors are not typical of big company software teams. So, they have earned my respect in that way. The last thought is we all must realize Steemit is still in Beta. That really means 'use at your own risk'. The code is not fully baked yet, so it would be unfair to pass any judgement at this point.
