The mod is planned to keep original look of GregTech 4 with some technical improvements, time to time extra improvements could be done of visual(as UIs, textures), but not minor one. there was only one non-original thing implemented - Large plasma turbine, and was a reason.
You are welcome to participate in development, but if you planning to add something new make sure you disscussed it with @TheDarkDnKTv before you started write actual code. Since policy is keeping original look, I can disagree with you about changes.
