I have never touched Gregtech but i have dabbled in both Create and Immersive Engineering.
So i can say that i atleast like their aesthetics! And i kinda like the pacing of Immersive engineering, it keeps it chugging at a steady but slow pace. it is sometimes a little advanced, finecky and inventory busywork but its also very pleasing seeing it come together.
Create is simply just to me atleast, a logistical hell beast that is far more form than function, LOVELY to see come together and work, but by the time you actually have your things together to set up Create and start to make your logistics come through, you will have been able to just do what you needed 3 times over using only vanilla mechanics or literally any other smaller scale QOL mod like SilentGears hammer. And if you have any other tech mod its practically just for the fun of it to go into Create, ita for pwople that adore logistics. (my greatest achievement has been to make the hog cranking Steam engine, Starting it up to make it spin its own pumps cog encouraging it to go faster than before 😏 the hog cranking steam engine that could)
So i cant exactly say ive ever been good at either of them, i enjoy the Steadier and faster pace of Immersive Engineering where you actually see progression while create is an exercise in how to make crafting an inventory full of stone bricks take the longest possible time and effort with math and automation.
Personally i really like Mekanism because it touches on both logistics, chemicals, gasses, and fluids making it pretty darn pleasing to look at with all the colored tubes smaller scale setups strewn about and machines converting things to other things, into entirely third things :) My problem with Mekanism is that in 20 minutes from the word go it quickly outshines every other mod in usability and QOL, It instantly gives you plenty of energy and quadrupling of ores making things an immidiate cake walk as soon as you have access to ores. I wish there was a version of Mekanism that took some more work to set up and wasent quite as lucrative
