The problem is people thought the same for .6. That .7 will be better and that they should skip .6 in it's entirety. And they will probably think the same for .8. There are no easy updates. Right now the mod devs are just complaining a bit. They will get into it in there own do time. They just need that time to wrap there heads around the changes to the code.
Why is 1.7 such a big change to modding?

No, the problem is that none of the mod devs are capable of updating to 1.7 until Forge comes out. And Forge is taking forever because some 250,000 lines of code were changed, some of them very fundamental. Until then, none of the devs are able to do diddly for 1.7. Once that happens, THEN you'll see devs working on 1.7 mods.
Please stop posting hearsay and rumors and just flat-out made-up nonsense as 'facts'. It doesn't make you sound like you are 'in the know', it makes you sound immature and lacking in self-confidence. If you do not wish to present yourself in that manner, then please discontinue this behavior.
Irrelevant... point is it's still in 1.7, and 1.7 has barely started phasing it out.
For example, 1.7 saved worlds are the same as 1.6 saved worlds. So at the very least, if they add a new format, 1.8 will have to keep using IDs, so it can convert worlds over. That means using IDs up until 1.9 is released.
Unless they want to go ahead and break compatibility, finish going to string-based instead of integer-based, and force everyone to do a new world.
Yes, it would be a bad idea to do so, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. I remember all the drama in Beta 1.7 when they changed WorldGen to get rid of the Far Lands glitch and do a few other things in the process. Yes, it would be drama with whining and complaining, but it would be over and done with. For an end to ID Conflicts? I'd be willing to put up with mandatory world resets.
check rwtema's twitter (extra utils dev). Also, sengir isn't wanting to continue modding, you should check his twitter.
Ahem.

And the same day you posted that no less. Neat trick. Can you make a post like that about the modding API too. And maybe ones about EE3 and Xycraft as well.
Oh trust me, if I had that kind of power, I'd be posting about world peace.Ahem.

Besides, look again. Notice how it doesn't have a 'recommended' for 1.7.2? That's a dev version, not a release version. Granted, it's enough for modders to get started, but again... they only just TODAY got access to what they need to start updating their mods.
At least wait a couple of weeks before starting wild rumors about devs not updating. Sure, getting ahead of the crowd is one thing... but you're fighting a Black Friday crowd on the day after Halloween here.
And sengir not wanting to continue to mod minecraft isn't due to 1.7. It's partly due to the playerbase. Partially because of things like this: http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&postID=143741#post143741
Applied Energistics has halted all development of 1.5.x and 1.6.x versions and will focus on 1.7.x. I guess that means I can say a lot of mod devs are looking forward to 1.7.x.
Let me leave this link here: https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/383724382079954944
Read his responses to his tweet, lots of actual info instead of this random jibberisch
And no, there not done improving the game or changing it: https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/410376236230508544
Wich makes waiting for updating pointless, because untill the API is released each update will be breaking things.

Actually it means that she has to do a complete re-wright to fix issues with her chunk mover. And that by the time she finished 1.5 and 1.6 will be outdated so she is skipping them and going on to the next version.
Biomes o Plenty already have 1.7 versions out now on the new Forge build and Tinker's Construct has some new features that are waiting on 1.7 to be out. So honestly devs have been waiting on Forge. The amount of code that was changed really made this update hard. But each pass of the code like this is a clean up to get Minecraft ready for API. The game essentially has to be rewritten a bit at a time.
Hrm...I suppose using a string-based hashtable, in that instance, would be, if nothing else, more dev-friendly.
However, I know I'll probably wait until 1.8 comes around before trying to port what I currently have for Keep of Metal and Gold over to the latest vanilla version. My girlfriend's been playing on 1.7 since it came out and has had many problems with it, like crashing so hard that she can't stop the process with fucking Task Manager, forcing her to restart her computer after said crash, lest she have a huge chunk of resources just plain gone because the JVM process simply refuses to freaking die. Making a mod already requires that I deal with crashes and bugs, I'd rather not have to deal with forced computer restarts, as well. Especially since my laptop takes a couple of minutes to start up.
Can't we all just be friends and enjoy the free stuff we get at other people's expense?Just wow...man people really will bitch about anything
But bitching about Sengir adding something when he didn't even add it is just ermmm heh ok. I just find it funny that people complain about things that get put into mods when it's free anyways... I mean free stuff is free stuff. Heck a mod could add generators powered off pink because of Aur......oh wait.....that's gonna be in Extra Utilities
