I haven't dug into the CBM mod, but from other mods I have looked at, I think it's going a little far to say "all commands are clear without even the manual next too it."
That may be true once you've been modding for awhile, but most of the mods I've seen have been opaque at first glance.

The log with CBM may be good, but that's a different issue.

And focusing on needing a text editor, when the main complaint was not wanting to learn to mod in order to play, is really avoiding the point.
