Vortex is definitely more noob friendly than NMM. I can wrap my head around the more "evolved" modding tools, but most of the time I'd rather not if I don't have to. I've tried almost all the major mod managers in the past and didn't really like using any of them, I just did because they were the best tools available. So far Vortex is the only one that has been quite pleasant to use, even though there are some minor annoyances I've had with it, but still it's become my favorite mod manager already. For some simple setup with couple dozen mods you shouldn't have any issues with it.
