I agree. However, IF the choice is between upgrading to 1.5 without RP2 and sticking with 1.4.7 because RP2 isn't updated, then regardless of how cool it is I'm happy to leave it behind.
If YOU had only one mod to take out of Ultimate, forever, what would it be?

People who remove Secret Rooms clearly haven't discovered the awesomeness that is one-way windows, or camo gates. Flexible door size ftw!
I remove Gregtech, ComputerCraft and ExtraBiomes (replace with Biomes O'Plenty or Highlands). The former is ill-suited to my playstyle while the latter often interferes with other mods' worldgen, a problem I haven't had with BOP. There's nothing wrong with CC, but coding is not a gameplay mechanism I enjoy. Sometimes I'll mess with it just to learn more about lua, though.
My 1.5 instance omits both IC2 and (of course) Redpower, and I was surprised to find I miss IC2 more. Solar is really useful for providing that initial power source to get your machines running. They're perfect for MFR farms, if you don't want to lose energy via tesseracts or build insane amounts of conduits.
Edit: I misread the original post. I wouldn't remove any of these mods from the pack itself; Ultimate should be about having as many choices as possible when building your machines. These are just the ones I disable when I play alone.

And this is why IC2 isn't dying, people.

My point is: why should you get it oout of the ultimate(1.4.7) pack
You are crazy sir.
Actually, I'ma change my choice(or rather amend it). I'd remove the Petrogen mod(overridden by GT), the obsidian pressure plate mod(overridden by TC3) and EBXL(impossible to find a desert for me, too many biomes which I don't like, and whatnot). Actually I'd just disable all it's biomes and keep it loaded. Worked rather nice for me last time I did that.
Except power armor actually drains energy which needs to be replenished. The only way to drain a portal gun of energy is to throw it in lava
That my issue with that mod. Every other mod that introduces really useful things - even EE3's minium stone, which I think is OP - can either be damaged over time, or requires some kind of energy in order to work. The Portal gun doesn't. It's a permanent advantage, and thanks to it spawning in chests, there's a random chance you won't even need to craft it. I wouldn't mind it if I would just play along with all the other electronic things that require energy to work.Except power armor actually drains energy which needs to be replenished.

Pretty sure there's a config option to make it run on ender pearl dust, or something like that.
Then you've fallen into that old fallacy: insisting you have a right to dictate how others play. I like the portal gun the way it is, but you're welcome to saddle yourself with unnecessary tedium if it pleases you. So long as I don't have to do so, too.
Redpower is a great mod, if it isn't broke don't try and fix it with all the other patch work garbage from 100 different mods, it's a bundle of very useful and smart machines/items that all work together great. If I could remove one mod, it would be petroleumgenerator, I don't see it being very useful with gregtech installed
I haven't read the 4 pages after this.
So if someone already said this, sorry.
The ME Interface allows you to ask it to keep x amount of items in an inventory at a time.
Plop the Interface down by a chest, stick some cables on it, and stick some items in the export config.
Poof!
Ender Chest Supplication.
red power. simply because it has the ability to be amazing but all we have is a mod that lags the crap out of worlds/servers and holds the modpacks back from updating. not to mention the mod dev seems to like to seclude itself from the public which is simply weird.
In fact, i use obsidian plates.. from the start to the finish. My world is 2 months old and I've pretty much done everything.
And my doors still have obsidiplates
Thinking about the redundancy in mods, isn't it a good thing? The more redundancy there is, the less you lose if a mod falls out, for example RP2. BC pipes aren't great, but at least I have SOME form of pipes to use while I wait. Thaumcraft's arcane plates and obsidiplates; the same, although the good thing with obsidian plates is the lack or research required. I wouldn't remove mods to reduce redundancy, I'd add mods to increase redundancy. It still hurts if I lose some, but my builds could be salvaged.
No, the Interface allows you to ask it to keep x amount of items in itself, not in an adjacent inventory.
Everyone keeps saying the only thing RedPower has that other mods don't is frames. But does any other mod have bundled cable? The ability to send multiple separate redstone signals through the same space - interfacing with ComputerCraft - is amazingly useful for complex builds.
MFR's Rednet. Sure, it's only in 1.5.1, but it does exactly what RP2's bundled cable does except better.
