I just love Gregtech. Wanted to put this here too because I find the exploding machines comments hilarious.
It costs you if all you wanted was a quarry and had no true intention of pursuing IC2 at all and had no IC2 infrastructure. But that's just meI mean okay, everyone's mileage may vary, but I'm not seeing where the act of putting together the plate bending machine costs you so much more time than building a machine and one or more engines.
You used to be able to change the config to set MMI back to the IC2 recipe - just craft refined iron, bronze, and tin together in a normal crafting grid. This update has removed the ability to do that - if GregTech's installed, you HAVE to use the plate bending machine.

Yes and no.
The most valuable resource in minecraft you've got is time. The plate bending machine ain't that slow and you can always build more or stock up, but it's an extra headache I'd rather avoid.
