FWIW I'm of the same opinion - I've yet to see an electronic circuit schematic 
that doesn't segment all the nodes into horizontal and vertical segments.

Ok, maybe the analogy is poor, because in a circuit schematic, a line 
represents a single node, and not data flow, so a better example would be 
block diagrams or flow charts.

I think history has proved that clearly, most types of charts that connect 
boxes together are read more comfortably if the connections are composed of 
vertically and horizontally alligned segments.

I think this is obviously a  wouldbenicetohavebutwhohasthetimetoimplementit 
issue.
