I am confused about some physicists' physical intuition about the naturalness of physics constants, especially when comparing two constants of the same dimension. For instance, when two quantities differ by a large order of magnitude, people tend to raise a "hierarchy problem". When two quantities are roughly of the same order, then they tend to raise a "coincidence problem". Just how much two quantities differ from each other will be satisfactory?
