Or making lines that go up for anything but feedback/loops.
Well, if you first make sure that most lines are as short as possible, then there's not much need to worry about lines going up. A single-outlet object connected to a single-inlet object that doesn't get connected anywhere else, can have a 2-pixel line. After that, wires going up is a minor trouble and/or simply a necessity.
I do lots of lines that go up, especially to an object at the same height, so, object-wise, it's a kind of horizontal connection, but the rendering goes up because outlets are at the bottom of boxes and inlets are at the top.
Any I can't think of any reason why you should ever cross over an inlet or outlet, i.e. Frank's #4.
Because the font changed after the patch was made. Which is probably an issue for all of Pd these days...?
