One thing that burns a lot of people is that the Space-Race view only shows the stats of the top-contender. Thus you can derrive quite misleading conclusions when say, you plan to sabotage him enough to keep you in the lead, then suddenly out of nowhere 3 more AI's over-take him and beat you to a launch, that you didn't see coming.
IIRC in Civ III you had better views of everyone who was building the race. But Firaxis droppe the ball in this version with a very quick & sloppy GUI. At least you can see SOMETIMES in the text relay who and what completed what, so you write that on paper, but it DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. Also, that method will not let you know when an AI lost a part to another AI's sabotaging.
Would be nice to have a simple screen to list ALL current parts by ALL AIs so no one has to write things down on paper and do all sorts of guessing-game work.
I keep forgetting to bring this up.
