AE is incredibly easy mod to setup a "simple" system and use. And then there is the "quartz grinder" - basically the tier 0 macerator/pulverizer. If anything, just watch DW20's spotlight on AE.
I honestly like the balance AE has. While it may seem "easy" compared to say GregTech or it can trivialize other sorting systems, but it's silly to compare the shortcomings of one mod to a well written mod and say it is "op".
If anything I would say Mystcraft and Xycraft are just as "op" as...
They got "Cntrl + A" happy maybe, and selected one too many mods at the last minute? :P
I mean, this is their largest modpack yet, and the first release of it. Issues are inevitable. :P
