I agree with you, as redpower can be expensive but if someone puts in the effort to use it and gather the materials to make them and use them well they can do quite well while still needing to gather things and spending quite alot of time to setup those intricate systems, along with the time spent to learn about each machine what it can do and how to make and use them well. This is also true with ic2 and BC while being cheaper you must still learn how to use them and setup can be simple to complex along with some dangers (slack on nuclear power plant maintenance and restart from close to scratch or don't use the correct cables and lose a few machines)

while gameplay with EE can be quite short and overpowered and after that on a server some people go around greifing everything in sight (not everyone does but a few people do) its also quite easy to get the best tools and the best armor in the game if a player is dedicated to using EE and/or has a well setup emc loop that is reliable with any level of maintenance.
