Thank you for making that thread! As a tech person myself, SOOOO many appropriate gifs!
I also need to echo the sentiment expressed through gif many times - the UI sucks pretty bad, and it's Factorio's most glaring problem.
As I've said to my partner (who's been in game design for 13 years) "Factorio is what you get when a programmer makes the UI / UX".
The Factorio Development in Gifs Thread was HYSTERICAL.

Guess what! The team is working pretty hard on the GUI for the last year or so, it's bound to get much more usable - though not pretty. It's not meant to be pretty, it's enginering software!

Yes, I'm always checking that thread. I get sad when it doesn't get updated
