P.S. srry for my bad english.
April 28, 201213 yr Risugami's ModLoader is a dependency of Forge, as such, you can use both whilst developing.
April 29, 201213 yr Author but... i am not using any api and can any1 give me some reasons why i should use a api? i know some already: it has compatibility with other mods and you have no need to change some files

Forge has a stable API, unlike doing base edits in Minecraft, of which you have to re-apply those base edits manually every version. Forge reduces the amount of work you have to do by quite a bit due to the hook interfaces. And of course compatibility, which is a pretty major factor, having your mod work with others that would otherwise be incompatible due to base edits is quite a boon.
