If I understand you correctly you mean not being able to select
individual socket and connect to the selected one?
If so - I've been fighting for bringing this feature back for some
time now.
In 2.49 we could simply select the output socket of one node, input
socket of another node, hit F and BAM - connection created.
Now it's gone.
Imagine node group with 17 outputs and another node group with 17
inputs.
Let's now connect output 7 of first group to input 16 of second group...
You have to drag the connection holding down the mouse button.
It's ok when your groups are placed close to each other, but that's
not always the case.
or:
We have Render Layer input node with several passes.
Let's connect AO pass to 5 inputs of 5 other nodes.
It would be great to be able to select AO output socket then shift
select ALL of the inputs, hit F and have all 5 connections.
and once again: Please, please, please don't force me to unhide every
node to make a connection by auto hiding unused sockets in collapsed
nodes.
What was wrong with leaving the option to the user? If I really wanted
to hide unused sockets I could hit Ctl-H.

Connecting to some random nameless socket was not good either..

I can also confirm this is very confusing, I nearly reported a bug
the
first time I came across this (I think I eventually figured it
out). I
don't think this should be a default.

Hello,
Am I the only one who hates auto hide sockets when we hit H to
collapse
the node?
Collapsing the node doesn't mean that I will not want to connect
anything
to it later.
In older versions of Blender when we hit H - the node was
collapsed but
we
had the access to its sockets.
Now when I hit H - the node becomes useless.
If I want to connect anything to it I have to first unhide it, then
connect something to it, then hide it again. It's frustrating
because I
have to go through some unnecessary steps just to make a simple
connection.
Please tell me - am I the only one?
