example in MAX you can hide all the connections in performance mode..
It's more important to make patches less messy, rather than making them look less messy.
There are some basics, like trying not to hide wires and avoid ambiguous placement of objects/wires, but at some point it becomes a wasted conversation because box widths and therefore wire positions/angles can vary based available fonts and how the windowing system renders them. So a patch on one system can look "tidy", while different fonts (or different rendering of the same font) can introduce an ambiguity on a different system.

But if you really want to hide things, you can hide both the connections and the ordinary objects by using the Graph-on-Parent (GOP) feature of subpatches and abstractions.
