Also I think I wasn't just expressing myself clearly here.. take a look at Steam workshop, notice the sorting methods.
"Most popular"
"Highest rated"
"Newest"
Without a monthly or bi-monthly spot-light of the best mods there is no way you will find any new mod on this system within a month of its opening. Nexus has the top 5 mods of the month for exactly this reason (and a "Top 25 in the past 2 weeks" for both adult only and non-adult, and best rated recent... for more granularity)

Already filled by stupid spammers as well
The Nexus isn't a good example, it was just the only one out there until now. The staff is terrible, the mod authors pander and froth for upvotes which hurts the listing integrity and there is a pretty amusing amount of content theft from commercial properties which is selectively enforced. The sites navigation is a non-standard piece of shit that breaks traditional browser functionality. I used it because I had to but thankfully I'll have more options from now on.
If you "detest Steam" I'm not even sure why you're using this at all in the first place. I don't know, maybe show some patience and wait a little bit. You seem to have an irrational hatred of something that was just released a few days ago, your blood pressure must have been through the roof for the years of Nexus sites being terrible. The lack of search is a far bigger problem IMO but I'm willing to give them some time to fix things up as this is just the initial release.
It's not a simple situation, they have a number of things to do deal with like how to address copyright infringement, plagarism, what sorts of viewing options the community desires and so on. Some of these things you can anticipate and others just need to be dealt with as they come up.
