It's just not that user friendly.. Who knows.. maybe SE wanted it that way..
It really does feel like SE intentionally made crafting extremely tedious. Just look at the quick synthesis.. It's not quick at all!!!
It still takes 10 minutes to churn out a stack of items with quick synth, and they wonder why more people aren't crafting, then they try to make crafting "easier" by introducing specialists etc.. Unless SE changes the entire crafting UI and its clunkiness it won't draw any people in.
