Is Skyrim on the PC worth it?

Hell.f**ing.yes. KillerSp-ace, owning Skyrim for the PC gives you the following perks:
-Mods
-Use of the console
-Infinite play time w/ a single char, cause in X360, after 6mb, it's back to helgen
-A free map of Skyrim (my copy came with one map ) Dungeons not included.
EDIT: Like Flippy said, you can use the console to spawn 100 Sabre cats in a city and watch the mayhem

So it resets after 6mb? Really!? That sucks. But do you need a steam account? It says for the Creation Kit that I do. Let me rephrase that, do I need a steam account to be able to post mods and such. Does having an account make the game more enjoyable? But for those of you who have played both console and PC, which do you think is easier? I've only ever played two TES games on PC and it's somewhat easy, though a bit sluggish.

No, what i mean is: Once your save reaches 6MB on the X360/PS3 the game lags really f**ing hard, INCREDIBLY HARD AS FCKING HELL CRAP. forcing you to start anew. And, you could just download it, but the advantage is that you won't get the hassle of installation from Skyrim Nexus. Instead, you DL directly from steam. And you will be prompted to install steam and create an account, then, the next time you attempt to install Skyrim, you will install the game itself. Obviously, Steam account is required to upload, but not enjoy. Steam isn't an online game, anyway, so no need for chatting n' such. Oh, and i've played TESV on my friend's PS3, and Skyrim is a helluvalot easier AND FUN on the PC, having a hard time getting daedric hearts? no problem! player.additem **item id** **no. of items you want to receive** Ex: player.additem 3ada3 5 gives you 5 dragon scales. BUT. If you are an anti-cheat nazi, then you can use the console to spawn NPCs( including monstaz)consult the elderscrolls.wiki for NPC ids. Example: Typing 'player.placeatme 1068fe 5' in the console will spawn 5 bandits at your location, so the console can be used to create Legion vs. Stormcloaks, etc.

Sorry for da long post, but to summarize: It's better in the PC.

EDIT: AND, the framerate is better on the PC, if your graphics card meets the requirements and is GTX

Is Steam free? I know the Creation Kit is, but only if you have a Steam account (decent marketing there). And I'm not 100% as nerdy as some other people, or as good with acronyms, but what does GTX mean?

YUP,FREEEEE!!!! GTX is an NVIDIA GEforce GTX graphics card. I think mine is GTX 520..but my friend has GTX250, and Skyrim runs just fine on his PC.

But there's a mod that allows youto be a blacksmith, getting contracts to build shit theb get paid

See, that might take some of the tedium out of grinding up on the werkbench. Do you get your own shop out of it too?

Just a small stall w/ workbenches and such.
