I don't think there is but I haven't really looked into mods aside from graphical enhancements.

What I do is just use Dwarf Therapist http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=66525.0, hopefully you've heard of it. If you have then you probably already do this but, I organize them by waves so I see who I had and who I have left to edit. I go through all the dwarves I just got and see which ones will be useful to me, the ones that are not I right click and set their custom profession name to "Free" so I know I have spare dwarves for whatever (usually military or just hauling).

You can also set DT to show dorfs based on the number of assigned work. Choosing 11 usually shows those that only haul/give water.

Embarking in year 1 or so ought to do away with all that nasty "experience" crap they get before coming to your fort. There are some minor downsides like potentially having fewer materials to choose from at embark and not much history for engravings but I doubt you'll really suffer.

DF doesn't mold players into its image - DF merely selects those who were always ready for DF.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Nope, I'm getting grand master armorers in year 3, the earliest possible embark year.

Not that I consider that a problem.

Diso Faintpuzzles was born in 120.  Although accounts vary it is universally agreed that Diso was chosen by fate as the vanguard of destiny.

In the early spring of 143 Diso began wandering the wilds.
