I'm not a fan. It can't sort by file modification date and its support for subdirectories is so-so, it's slow to open and sorts names starting with an underscore last, for whatever reason. It just doesn't work well with my workflow.
Ummmmh - sure you checked the latest version? JJW updates BA at a very rapid pace (not quite "AcidBubbles on Adderall"-tempo, but ... really dedicated to the project)
* File modification date - Errrr, it does? (There were some hickups with sorting, but JJW sorted that out a couple weeks ago)
* Support for subdirectories - subdirs in AddonPackages? Haven't used elaborate subdir structures in AddonPackages for a while - that's what the tagging system is meant to do?
Subdirs in local files are supported?
* Names starting with underscores: Hmmmmh - sounds like smth that JJW could add fairly easily (and he's really fast about adding requested features), but only patreons can make feature-requests.
"No arguing about taste", though - as you might be able to tell, I'm a fan & long-time subscriber, but if it doesn't support your preferred workflow, I see your point.
I think I had a look a while ago, I didn't really understand how it worked. I probably should check it out again, thanks for the suggestion.
FYI - I'm talking about Feelfar's varmanager, not the one on the Hub. (

Note:
1) CAUTION! It will move ALL your vars into a repo-directory & sort them into subdirs by creatorname. If you have an elaborate folderstructure in AddonPackages - that will be empty afterwards!
There's an option whereby you can re-create that folderstructure afterwards - but that might take some work.
2) There's no documentation, but A LOT more options than the simplistic GUI suggests. Everything I know I figured out from tooltips & experimentation. If you decide give it a try, feel free to shoot me a PM.
