2) Steam Workshop automatically updates any mods you download from it to the latest version, regardless of whether you want to or not. Some people prefer to be able to choose what version they use.
3) Steam Workshop is where stolen mods ends up a lot, with the issues seldom moderated or taken care of.
Personally I don't use Steam Workshop for any mods. At all. Much rather download it directly from the source and install it myself. Perhaps you could upload each "final" version to Mediafire?
