I'll never use NMM if it doesn't match or beat the modularity and cleanliness of MO. Having mod managers just shove files into the Data directory willy-nilly is not a sustainable approach when people have 100 mods that interact with each-other. People say NMM uses some kind of virtualization. Looks more like symlinks. NMM is fine if you just want whats essentially a downloader + unpacker and just download 5 mods and never touch it again. MO is the top when you want to actually tweak files, create overrides, update mods without having to reinstall everything, try out mods without tainting your Data folder, debug problems, since it's so easy to disable a mod and know exactly what is overriding what. Tannin says "we won't be missing MO for long", but has he seen NMM? At least he doesn't have to work with NMM, since they're starting from scratch, but he has to do everything and work with the people who did NMM. Not going to be easy. Anyway, grats on Tannin on getting a job to work on a mod manager. He did good work on MO and it's nice to see someone be able to make a job out of it. And I hope the people that worked on NMM are ready to move onto the next level.
