I often like to look around when crafting 20 items for example at a time as hostile animals come through. The problem is the camera snaps back to the position it was in when you started crafting after every object, and has resulted in 1 death every day I've played because the time is so minimal for most tasks making it impossible to see dangers coming unless you happen to be looking in the right direction at the time. Likewise the list tends to snap as well, preventing you from looking over recipes available while crafting. Both of these seem to impose needless overhead as well as being annoyances with no real purpose.
