I use [[Oblivion Mod Manager|omod]] file types rather heavily. My preference is to release mods only in this file type. This angers a great many people, because I also do not like other people uploading my mods (including those who wish to upload them as non-omod's for the sake of those who do not like [[Oblivion Mod Manager|OBMM]]). Taking from the experience of my first mod, which was released only as an omod file, I'm going to outline a few points below:
<ol><li>Modder Responsibilities:<ul>
<li>Modders work for free, of their own volition. They have complete and utter authority to do whatever they like, and it is ''your'' choice to download or not.</li>
<li>That said, there are some responsibilities modders have, out of courtesy - these are things like not stealing others' work, not changing things without warning the user before installation, etc etc.</li>
<li>This does not include, however, using a given user's preferred archive format.</li></ul></li>
<li>.omod File Format:<ul>
<li>is incredibly useful to all users, experienced or not, and should be used by every single person who can</li>
<li>is incredibly useful to modders, and can make their lives much easier</li>
<li>requires the [[Oblivion Mod Manager]]</li></ul></li>
<li>[[Oblivion Mod Manager|OBMM]]:<ul>
<li>provides vast amounts of incredibly useful functions</li>
<li>requires Microsoft .NET 2</li></ul></li>
<li>Microsoft .NET 2:<ul>
<li>Does not work for some people</li>
<li>Causes others problems with some programs</li></ul></li></ol>
Basically, this means, to me, that my mods that do not require .omod functionality (do not need to replace original data files, does not need to be scripted for conflict detection/fixing) ought to be uploaded in whatever non-omod format is most convenient for me, in addition to the omod.
I do not feel obligated to do so, however, and if at any time it becomes substantially inconvenient for me to release a given mod in a non-omod format, I will not do so.
