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.
