I just installed Vortex to see how it works. The default "dark/gray interface" is not user friendly. Not good for the eyes. Go light for all interfaces, even Microsoft switched from Dark interface to light interface in the latest release of Windows 10. There is a reason behind this...
Also using the default installer, the installer didn't even inform me where it installed his files and a warning "Some loose files will not load due to a bug in game engine...", "Fix or dismiss?".
Should I trust blindly everything that do a manager? at least I should have some information about what he has done..
I just loaded a plugin from Skyrim LE (example the latest mod Citizens.esp) to see how this mod manager will react?
I didn't got a warning menu message "Old plugin" like what do Wrye Bash (and that's a complain I have about that manager) but there is a discret "Triangle" warning and if you click on it you read:
"This plugin was created by the original Skyrim and maybe not compatible with Skyrim Special Edition ..."
At least here Vortex is more cleaver than WB and recognize he is not sure about this ... "maybe yes, maybe not... right?"
