If that may reassure you... not only Pd has messes of uncooked spaghetti going under boxes and stuff. And not only dataflow diagrams have them. This is an example in a data-relational diagram in a database app :

And cooking the spaghetti softens the spaghetti but it's still spaghetti.
OTOH, it would be a lot more readable already if the middle boxes were just placed in proper places...

And at least in Pd you can subpatch.. Graphs can get pretty tricky too, especially when created automatically:

Ugh, softened spaghetti are terrible - they are the buffer overflow of pasta cooking!!

True... Maybe also a vertical flow instead of horizontal.

I used to work with modelling source from UML (old days) and it was worse than my spaghetti in pd.
