Wow, what a raisin of shields in favour of CBM
I heartily agree with it too.
I don't like playing with mods in games the most of the times(I prefer to play them "the way the devs thought it" except some notable exceptions) but CBM does great in making some often overlooked things viable and interesting, and often in a thematic way too
Also it seems strange to complain the "confusion" it is supposed to create among players. The changes are all documented and explained - I am a n00b and I have really no problem in understanding all of them
