Reason: I know what JSGME does and how it does it, and I like to maintain full control over what goes into my game folder. I downloaded NMM at one point and had a look at it but took a pass, I know too many people who've had problems using it, things going haywire when they try to uninstall something and it doesn't do it properly.
Steam Workshop appears to allow for even less control over what goes into my game folder, so there's no way I'd use that either.

I don't use nearly as many mods as frau does, but I do exactly the same thing, and have done so for Oblivion, F3, New Vegas and now Skyrim. That system works extremely well for me. As always, remember to backup your vanilla files if an overwrite is required. Some of the heftier mods do that.
