Using delays is convenient, but has downsides. You're giving up real-time control over the process and may miss certain events or react too late and cause a device to jam. You also need to consider that code takes time to run, and for example if you have a complicated condition for setting the output of a sorter depending on the item that entered it, it may be better to leave it OFF by default and only turn it on once the output is correctly set. (Devices react differently to being fed items while powered down. ie the stacker will keep it in the Import slot but the vending machine will completely import it, so make sure to manually test everything you can prior to automating it) | Using delays is convenient, but has downsides.
