Im aware graddle is most likely much easier for you all, but I want to just say 1 thing about it...
It's much more difficult to use. MUCH MUCH MUCH more difficult to use for all modders.
According to what I've seen (although a bit limited), even many of the advanced modders are stuck in the dust, and Im sure newbies dont want to have to learn how to do it. I spent a long time researching myself (trying to avoid this post), and it doesnt seem there are any good tutorials. In fact, I only found the one that is on these forums and it does not work after extensive attempts to fix, although that may just be me, for the 1.7.2 versions of forge. Although, I often miss things, it shouldnt be this hard. It should be just a few clicks like before.
If it's still possible, I think we'd all like a revert and to leave this behind.
I didnt see anything against this post in the rules (although I somewhat skimmed it), so please do not ban my account.
