New To PC gaming soon Skyrim advice

We can go back and forth all day, it comes down to preference. Some people say NMM, some people say MO, some people might even say manual. I started out modding with NMM and just haven't experienced any breaking or major problems, but you obviously did have a bad experience.

Last night I added about 30 mods to my existing load using NMM and I had to deal with one failed install for one plugin, which required me to remove and re-download that one file and it worked (5 minutes of extra work). A minor issue, sure, but not 5 times the workload. But responding with an absolute like "No, just no" without any context or amplifying information does nothing for the conversation. So when people are asking for help starting out, constructive feedback, etc, just consider what you are providing to them.
