I've never worked with that, however I'm always irritated, when patching environments have their cord connections flow left to right instead of top to bottom. IMO that's such a waste of space in languages, that are written horizontally. If you look at the "Midi to Poly" object here: http://synthmaker.co.uk/images/components%20L.png you'll see that most of it is just an empty grey rectangle, whose width is just there to make room for the object name. If the in/outlets were top and bottom as in Pd and Max, the box could be much smaller without losing any information.
I agree.
However, I'm quite warming to chord-less patching a la circle:

IMO, this looks like a really nice and well-thought-through UI. Although I am definitely not suggesting Pd should go down that route -- Pd and Circle are two very different beasts!

Hmmm why is it called "Free Audio Workshop" when "Circle will be available for €149.00 / $199.00" ... ?
