After my initial enthusiasm has faded I must also say, that certain
patching habits now fail miserably.
I'm used to moving the mouse in advance to where I want to put the next
object for objects that should not be connected to the previously
created object.
Example: Lets say I want to create a row of number atoms like this:
[0\ [0\ [0\ [0\ [0\ [0\ [0\
Traditionally I'd do a sweeping movement with the mouse going left to right
and sometimes press "Ctl-3" and click.
The new auto-connections make this very hard now.
I guess I would prefer auto-connections and auto-alignments happen
afterwards, e.g. I create these
[0\
[mtof]
[phasor~]
[cos~]
then select the four objects, say the magic words and then it would
transform into this:
[0\
|
[mtof]
|
[phasor~]
|
[cos~]
