People who make IF games: what do you love/hate about the engine you use?
It looks like you are describing the Instead Engine and some additional modules to it.

How would you all improve IF (discussion)?
I think it will be clearer from the documentation.

Is there a fun way to learn programming?
Happy Adventure Building! If you suddenly want something more powerful - https://github.com/instead-hub/instead/blob/master/doc/stead3-en.md

Making an SCP text based adventure - Any suggestions?
For example INSTEAD Engine - docs, game examples.

I am making and Undertale text-based adventure game
Huh, this is a task for an advanced programmer. But. You can take a ready-to-use engine for text games if your task is to make the game, and not to learn a programming language. For example: Instead Engine - docs, game example (download, play online)

Trying to make a class system for a text based game, is this a good way to do it or is there a better way (I'm a noob with classes)
I think you should look into a text-based game engine that already has all the classes you need to implement. For example Instead Engine. The documentation for this engine gives a good idea of the required framework. In addition, the minimal console implementation of this engine contains only 100 lines of code.
