if segmented patchcords are such a sin, why hasn't told the integrated circuit industry?
i'd agree ben's comment is a little off-the-cuff. the real answer is most certainly that it's simply more effort to impliment.
FWIW I'm of the same opinion - I've yet to see an electronic circuit schematic that doesn't segment all the nodes into horizontal and vertical segments.
Ok, maybe the analogy is poor, because in a circuit schematic, a line represents a single node, and not data flow, so a better example would be block diagrams or flow charts.
I think history has proved that clearly, most types of charts that connect boxes together are read more comfortably if the connections are composed of vertically and horizontally alligned segments.
I think this is obviously a wouldbenicetohavebutwhohasthetimetoimplementit issue.
