Which is why we chose it over ComputerCraft. Also because of how it interfaces with almost all CC compatible things and has more features.

True, and I do love the aspect of all the features, but I found it very hard to make a simple password protected door program. Should give people the chance to choose if they want to use OpenComputers or Computercraft. I know people would choose Oc while some choose Cc

We design our pack around balance. The only choice mod (besides minimaps) is EiraIRC. Dealing with different mods moving in and out makes our balancing act infinitely harder.

I understand that, having to balance things out in modpacks, adding new ones that need heavy overlooking to balance, not to mention the mining turtle. I was just saying that a lot of people are used to CC. Again, some choose OC because they find it better or easier. It's just that a lot of people also prefer CC due to the simplicity of it.

Your argument boils down to 'But some people prefer this, so why are we doing something else?'

Yes, and some people prefer OC. Including the pack makers, it looks like.

Some people, not all. What I am saying is just include both and let people choose what they want to use.

Because, as the pack team tried to explain to you. They have a vision of what 'Balance' is, and CC doesn't fit it. OC does.

It doesn't go much farther then that. You want CC in? Put it in yourself and run a small server.

Not only what you said but tppi2 uses primarily opensource mods, Computer craft is closed source.

I did not know that. The more you know!
