What should be changed to make loaders better?

Nothing, they're fine as they are

They should have a running cost (lubricant, electricity, etc.)

43%
They should have limited interaction options (chests only, no train usage, etc.)

9%
They should only feed into containers, not pull out of them (but they can also feed into anything, such as assemblers)

5%
They should only be able to unload, and only from chests (Rename them to Chest Unloaders)

They shouldn't be implemented

I think loaders should be in vanilla (w/out console commands required.) They fit perfectly for loading/unloading cargo wagons, especially since 0.15 introduced fluid wagons (they are to cargo wagons what pumps are to fluid wagons.)

Whether or not they are capable of interacting w/ chests/assemblers is less important to me.

As for filtering, I think they should be the same as splitters in that regard. Right now imo there isn't an elegant filtering solution that doesn't bottleneck throughput, for better or for worse.

But now I wish for 2 things, this and loaders...
Agreed that UG do seem a bit hackish for this purpose. Same for how they compress better than regular belts.
