That's true - it does have its disadvantages.. but it has its advantages. It's easier. The engine will get updated around your Lua code. There's an existing playerbase - playing your mod is as easy as joining a different server. If your mod is half decent I'd ship it with GMod.. allowing people to play with your content in GMod's sandbox, then join a different server and play the game itself.
