Such was the instability if you put a single foot wrong.
So, I have no problem (with Steam) in clicking 'delete local content' install, mod, done. In fact this is almost a pleasure in comparison. I'm also in the (severe case of) OCD mod club. We should start some kind of members club.
When installing a mod someone else has usually 'done the dance' already so the end user is usually always satisfied as everything goes to plan (until mod soup is introduced).

As an example...GWX took in excess of two years to complete, and many thousands of hours of creating and compiling by a dedicated team of over twenty people and a greater number of beta testers (the campaign scripting alone took over one thousand hours).

I can't speak for the other mods but I certainly can for the above.
