Also, it's worth noting that any mod which only contains files in a Data folder (and subfolders) can usually be drag-and-drop installed by just putting those inside Skyrim's Data folder and then switching on the relevant files in the load order manager that Skyrim's launcher comes with, if you really hate NMM for some reason.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

NMM has the disadvantage of having to hit the download of most mods multiple times before they download, and you can only download one at a time. At least, if you don't pay.
This is completely false.

The buttons work and you can download as many files as you want.

For free.

Huh.
Last time I used it trying to download multiple things at once just caused them all to fail :/
Maybe the servers were having a bad day or something.

I don't know shit about Gamespy but it's probably true, if only because they typically have one or two servers that are completely dead, yet still available. They have no active users, so NMM always tries to use them first, so you have to wait a while for it to skip down to the correct one after trying and failing 5 times on the busted ones. I'm reasonably confident that there's an option somewhere to manually disable particular servers, but I have no idea where or how to use it. That's one of exactly 3 problems I have with NMM (the other two being "Why do I need to log in?" and "Stop creating impossible-to-resolve window priority bugs").

All of Gamespy's servers are dead because Gamespy announced they were shutting down a year ago.

'Tis also handier for handling multiple saves with different modlists and avoids clutter in the Data folder. PITA to use for modders though. Better to keep a separate install for that.

So are there any mods that take the dragon riding from Dragonborn and....unsuckify it? :P

I mean as-is that shits just BAD.
Hell about half of Dragonborn seems to have been Bethesda trolling their fanbase.
I mean RIEKLING SPEARS?? WTF Bethy? You used to be real cool to your fans, now you shove our hopes in our faces while kicking us in the stomach.
