Fletcher, I prefer that the Source SDK resides in the game folder now. I saw you mentioned on GitHub that you may in the future give it an appid.
With hammer residing in the game folder and being a standalone, Steam does not show im in SourceSDK. Which is good for many reasons. I like to leave hammer open and when playing games friends can not join on me, or I cannot invite people to my game, because it invites them to play SourceSDK instead of the game. It also cuts down on the MANY steam messages saying "O hai wut r yew makin?" that I tend to get every 15 min. Another prevalent problem I had with the old method was the validating files bug, which was fixed with Steam Pipe, but you never know. Everytime I would launch hammer I would have to manually validate the TF2 file system(hence leaving it open as much as possible). I also prefer to be able to launch hammer as a desktop shortcut, instead of going to my Steam tools library, clicking on SourceSDK, then opening hammer through the GUI.
