Anyone have trouble with GURPS?

I am going to run a Steampunk campaign in a couple of months. I’ve been reading through GURPS 4th edition and I love it. I did a test run with the basic combat and I haven’t hit any hitches. Anyone have any troubles with the system? Skills, character creation, etc?

The only problem I ever had with GURPs is the same I had with every point-based system, like Champions. Everyone ended up with unutterably weird and ridiculous (but extremely powerful) characters, like a deformed, one-eyed, colour-blind midget hermaphrodite with six fingers on each hand, partial deafness, a criminal record for mopery, and a secret past involving aliens, time travel and the CIA.
