Same here. They've seen all corners of my cabinet. ;)
But that's one reason why I was thinking of using connectors 
for the normalled routes.

I see your points. I'm also pretty quick at patching a mono 
synth, but I still get the cable clutter from very obvious 
routes. Getting rid of those gives me more room for the 
other, more interesting routes. As long as I can always 
overrule the default routes, I think I'm save. 

The only danger I see is that the normalled routes may force 
me into making the same kind of patch all the time, and 
that's what kept me from doing it. The trick is - I think - 
to only select very obvious routes for this job.
