Has anyone used the mod manager by Nexus Mods? If so, does it work well or do you prefer to install the mods yourself?

I prefer mod managers.

People are so bad at packing up mod zips. Weird or wrong folder names. No guide for installation, or wrong guides. Expecting the user to know where files are going. Weird archive formats. Assuming users have dependent mods or tools or script extenders, and know how to use it.

With a mod manager the mod either works or it dont. It forces mod makers to organize mod files correctly and uniformly.
