I don't even know where to begin with you. I guess I'll keep it nice and short since I really don't feel like doing a massive post.
The whole point of using ModLoader and other such APIs are for compatibility with other mods. That's it. It's not harder in most cases, indeed it's likely easier and requires less work. On the contrary, what you call 'regular' modding tends to break for even the simplest changes if you install another mod, entirely because the modder is lazy.
It doesn't need any tutorials to learn? Neither do APIs. If you prefer learning from looking at the code what exactly is stopping you from doing so to the APIs themselves? And what exactly are you going on about with "the difference between the original codes and the ones I'm working"? Are you porting a mod from non-ModLoader to ModLoader? If so, that's obviously going to be time consuming. It's because you are doing the work the original modder should have done in the first place!
Even with all of this, usually using APIs are better for the users of you mod since they can easily mix and match mods from you and other people. Quite honestly, people like you who seem to wear this kind of preference as a badge infuriate me. I don't want to bring it in, but it's actually sort of like people that don't 'believe' in evolution. They don't understand it, they don't feel like putting in the effort to DO so, so they parade around for attention. Why did you make this topic? Did you have anything to actually say other than that you apparently don't understand tutorials?
