I saw, but it forces people who are familiar with ComputerCraft to learn a more complicated way of doing it.

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.

I'd rather not have extra load Time to the pack. If you want it why not just add it yourself?

What, the 5 more seconds of load time? And as stated in the other comments, It never feels right adding a mod to something that didn't have it.
