On the same boat, must have tried Skryrim at least twice each time DLC came out, last was dragonborn and it just crashes at around level 12 no matter what.

The primary benefit of dual wielding is dual sneak attacks (usually daggers if you are going that route) or the dual power attacks which channel several attacks back to back. Additionally, there are also those perks that increase attack speed and power attack damage while dual wielding.
The non dagger dual power attacks are better because you can chain them continiously until you run out of stamina - you can completely lock down an opponent until you run out of stamina. The dual dagger power attack has a pause before the next attack, so enemies can get in hits between and stop you.
On the down side, you cannot parry while dual wielding unless you add the dual parry mods.
Normally I go dagger+shield. If you have the blocking perk block runner, holding block while sneaking will allow you to sneak at full run speed.
As an alternative, 2hand is really effective because you can stay just outside of opponents melee range and only step in as you swing. Also you have the ability to block and bash for interrupts without needing any mods.

A few mods fix these issues. Deadly combat, Dual wield Parry/block mod/animation, Dodge mod, look into those.
I tried launching Skyrim (using SKSE) after not playing it for well over a year. I got a SkyUI error message so tried to update all my mods.
I had been using Nexus Mod Manager to manage my mods. Apparently NMM now requires a subscription to use the NMM app so I can't use it anymore. A TESO guildmate suggested using the Steam Workshop instead of NMM.
Anyone know which source has the most active modder community as well as choice of mods to choose from?

NMM requires an account, not a subscription as of last week? So unless there's been a very recent change NMM should work just fine.
When I launched NMM, I was prompted to login with account name and password. I kept getting a login error message. I went to the Nexus website and successfully logged in to their forums with the same exact account name and password. It was on their website where I saw mentioned they had a subscription service. They also had a one time fee to become a supporter of the website.
I tried logging in to NMM the next couple of days and it continued to give me error messages. I'm just assuming it is either because I do not have a Nexus subscription or did not pay the supporter fee.

I didn't browse their forums much, but is it possible the forum login is different than their website login? Does it show you as logged in when you are on the Nexusmod site, looking at a list of addons? Like in the top left? If it shows you logged in there, then there is something wrong because that same login worked within NMM.
Download manually from the Nexus and use Mod Organizer to handle your mods and load order. You'll also want to use BOSS, Wryebash and TES5EDIT to correct conflicts and clean dirty mod files. NMM is shitty in comparison to MO, but the Nexus blows the Workshop out of the water in terms of mods.
Curious to know how those of you who like playing spellcasters quickly choose what spell you want to cast without constantly pausing the game, opening up the spellbook, and left/right clicking on a spell. AFAIK that is the only way to do it but its a very clunky system.

I am well over 500 hours and never finished the main quest. Did not do warriors guild or bards college either lol. I am 1/2 dragon borne line and 3/4 of main quest line.
Is there a mod that flattens the exp curve past 50 but still makes levelling meaningful, not a total cheese? I would like alot more skill points than what seems feasible to get with reasonable play time.
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but it may help.
SkyTweak at Skyrim Nexus - mods and community
That works, although way more addons than i wanted to install. SkyUI is nice though but i'm keeping pretty much all the settings from skytweak as default.
