Personally, I find it hard to follow when the patch coords are routed
thru some convoluted path, and merged together. There are occasional
times where a segmented patch coord would help to make things clearer, but I find that those situations can almost always be solved by adding a [float], [bang], etc. to route the coord.
I agree that segmented cords can be more confusing than straight ones when they overlap. I also find that multi-coloured patch cords can make a patch a lot easier to follow.
