I use Firefox with pentadactyl, No-Script, and Requestpolicy (I use other addons, but those 3 are my only "must haves") Google may be a highly effective searching engine, but there is more to being a good company than that. However, I would consider Chromium if I could properly configure the...

I would not expect any official support. MultiMC is already a better launcher for MC, and installing modpacks is something that can be handled by an external tool, eg: the curseDownloader. Is it ideal? Depends on one's perspective. The downside of official support is the community doesn't...

Also, my proposed system wouldn't be like "Windows update" it wouldn't automatically install/update anything. It would only automatically update it's listing, and potentially inform the user that there are newer versions of mods they have installed. Either, especially the latter, could also be...

The possible mod-mod checks would be on the order of N^2, specifically N(N-1)/2. Obviously higher orders interactions increase this dramtically (ie: an issue between mod A and B that only occurs in the presence of mod C). However, there is no need for exhaustive checks. A system to flag known...

Yeah, it sucks, but not much you can do. I use a combo of Version Checker, and manually checking CurseForge/NotEnoughMods for my personal pack.

No. This is a problem that has been solved, but not for MC mods. The tools already exist to handle tracking installed versions, cleanly adding, removing, resolving dependencies, and even resolving conflicts between packages, however the community has not collectively acted to decide on a...

As far as features, there are more pressing ones. However, it is my understanding that the FTB launcher is more or less a dead project, and any development is focused on bug fixing and not new features. I find popularity sorting to be of limited use. Yes, generally good things will be...

I wasn't going exactly for subtle ;) I feel you're free to set whatever terms you like (legally) and as far as terms they are not especially ethically odious (no more than I universally dislike EULAs). I wouldn't start an "avoid Reika" movement: only as part of a larger habit to advise others...

It is a shame some mods go unnoticed or underused, but I think making it easier for people to roll their own packs and share them to play with friends will help with this. It should minimize the ability for pack makers to passively act as "gatekeepers". I know I actively seek out mods I don't...

There is nothing wrong with kitchen sink packs gameplay-wise, but I do not care for how they are currently done. Overall modpack distribution is needlessly complex because there isn't a good way to define and distribute a pack w/o actually distributing the mods themselves (the Curse client...

Backups are always good practice. I don't use Aroma, but rather rsync script + cron to handle backups (On servers and I do incremental backups with it). Local/SP worlds I backup before launch, also using a script & rsync.

The way I see it, Curse has permission to distribute the mods publicly via the http protocol, this is granted as their terms of service for hosting. How a user initiates the http request is irrelevant: I am free to download a mod hosted on Curse's servers, and they have been given permission...

Well my proposal was for Curse to provide such a tool, and failing that the community can create it. I am working under the assumption that they have no interest in providing a full client for anything other than MS Windows and OS X. A minimal cli tool that makes it easy to download and...

Honestly a simple script that can list and install/update a modpack is all that is strictly needed. In some ways could be a superior option. curse-cli sync - Updates modpack listing info. curse-cli list/ls - Lists the public modpack names and versions available. Maybe flags to filter results...
