There is a great mod called Side Inserters made by GotLag
viewtopic.php?f=93&t=13525
I feel like they make vanilla Factorio a bit too easy, but I feel like Bob's Mods adds so much complexity already that giving the player a few more options on their inserters would be a good addition.
It is technically compatible, but there's going to be a lot of inconsistencies. Therefore it would be cool if either Bob's Mods had its own side inserters so they can be handled consistently.

It has been requested before (several times in fact).
It is on my to do list, but I don't know when I'll get around to doing anything with it, I'm looking at other areas of the mod right now. (Yes, the logistics mod)

You grab side inserters, near inserters and special express inserters addon from GotLag and then use config to disable bob's mods inserters.
All of them will be in nice separate tab then.

You miss out on things like fast long inserters when you do that.
