It takes a lot of the tedium away when you made a miscalculation and need to be just a little bit closer or further from something.
Now you can cut, move over 1 and paste.
I've also found it really nice for rails. If you want a t-junction, just go away from everything and make a 90-degree rail curve. Then cut it.
Then go back to where you wanted the t-junction and paste in the curve and rotate it and paste again to get perfectly lined up sections of track.
and then you can have blueprints and upgrade planners and destruction planners.
upgrade planners let you convert say all slow belts to fast belts and leave the inserters alone.
destruction planners let you remove only walls but leave the electrical towers and rails alone.
it just goes deeper and deeper.
