Since this would be considered piracy these days, has anyone bothered to reverse-engineer how Vortex handles collections, so they can just be imported straight to Mod Organizer?

Every single fucking other application has bend the knee to Nexus, and forces you to fucking download files one by one, manually clicking each and every download.

There's gotta be a better way.

I was wondering wtf you were talking about with this "Vortex" thing but I guess that just goes to show you how long it's been since I used it lol

Yeah, the old NMM got shelved because it made downloading too easy.

I wouldn't say that's why it was shelved, the old nexus mod manager was a broken buggy mess that fucked up all your game directories. Vortex sucks but it is better than NMM without rose-tinted glasses. Now does vortex suck because nexus sucks and doesn't let the dev make it not suck? Probably. The guy that made it made Mod Organizer and that's great.

I don't know if that guy is even involved anymore. Pretty sure they just hired him to try to stop MO development.

Eh, from what I can see on his GitHub it looks like he's still working on it.
