Under dependencies, I found you are able to change the meta data as far as load after. This will work for manual load ordering, however, it is not very user friendly for a large mod list. A move up or down arrow in front of each plugin name would be awesome if possible.

Using with Skyrim Special Edition.
I imported the mods loaded in NMM, they all imported properly (this also disabled all mods in NMM automatically). I then enabled them, which also worked properly.
The Managed Mods, however, showed "0" Mods managed. I then installed a mod from file and the Managed mods showed "1" mod managed.

The loose file fix, seems to work properly also.

There is a small learning curve for those of us that are not overly endowed in the brain department, however it is very small.
Navigation around the Vortex is simple and pretty easy once you look at it.

I am currently using 142 active plugins, and 170 installed mods. It appears that all imported properly and are working as expected.

I also setup the LOOT and FNIS tools, which was easy and worked as expected.

I like the dashboard along with the tool buttons being right there together. The mods tab and Plugins tab are self explanatory and easy to see your load order.

Once downloaded and setup and mods installed, I was in game at 8:32 a.m. (Very small learning curve indeed).
Good job all.

Edit: Under the mods tab, only the one mod installed from file shows up. None of the imported mods show.
Edit 2: Ok, I see. When you install a mod from file, it places the mod in a different mod folder than NMM. Not a problem really, just more learning curve.

In the dashboard, near bottom of page, you will see tools buttons. You can add any you want. Just navigate to the exe for the tool you want to add.

They asked the same guy that made the nexus barely usable, and barely legible , if he would skin 'vortex' as well.

What a mess.

Who thought wed want to see nexus news , or latest mods even baked into this? Yes, those can be turned off, but still.

I'm with Mebantiza here. Vortex, along with the new nexus, is very poorly designed and laid out. It just seems like a worse looking, less user friendly version of ModDrop(Which is where I'm moving if Nexus doesn't get their s#*! together tbh)

Regardless of whether I like or not or it was only in half releae, remains to be seen , I wasn't one of ones , who wasn't able to have a testing try of this, And I would've like to , ..

Its 8:21 am thursday 1 feb Aussie time here , so now the file is hidden , I know they said limited testing , but I think it was a little too limited.. were random people chosen and notified by email ? .

when I woke this morning and only just got the notification about it , it was practically all over , ..

So I 'll just have to wait now till rull release ...

It's going to open again in half an hour. Be ready. :P

9:00 AM your time. (or a few minutes after - just keep refreshing) Edited January 31, 2018 by sirjesto

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
