I agree.
There is also the mknob from moonlib which I have actually replicated for PdParty. I think both of these knob implementations fit nicely with the other IEM guis.

I strongly endorse both PRs :)
Fractional zoom levels would be a game changer! The current integer zoom levels are pretty much useless in practice because typical scaling factors are more like 125% or 150%.
A knob is such a basic UI element for audio applications. I really think this should be part of Pd vanilla and not require some external. It isn't (only) about aesthetics; knobs have clear advantages over sliders in many situations as they allow to map the same range into a much smaller space. Just think about a simple mixer strip!
