I'll also point out that the UI for Factorio is almost among the best.

I'd prefer a factorio over almost another UI.

I'm imagining a port of factorio's UI into most strategy games would be very nice, both from a VERY zoomable map, a clear research/progression tree. A few improvements could be made IMHO, but it's lighyears better than TF, CS, the Chris Sawyer set, etc.
