Had to install the feed the beast app to play their stupid modpacks. It was ugly, had ads taking up a quarter of the screen at any time, and it used up a gig of RAM at idle.
On top of that, the launcher would run while the game was running, meaning you had a shitty electron app always running alongside the RAM hoarder that is minecraft.
Really just wish they'd let me install their packs on prism, a far superior qt-based launcher that uses my system's theme.
Can't you? There is a whole FTB section in prism when installing mod packs that seems to work perfectly fine for me.
They removed it in a recent update because they were told to by the FTB team. There's a legacy FTB section for much older packs, but it doesn't have the pack I want to play.
I mean, worst case scenario, you could always try and use the launcher just to download the mods/install and then cut and paste the Minecraft install over to your launcher of choice. That said, I don't know for certain if that works largely because I've never really played any FTB modpacks, and I've always been EXTREMELY picky with Minecraft launchers for a very similar reason (Curseforge's official app has ads and I don't trust that "Overwolf" thing they also make you install to not be spyware data harvesting).
