I don't like that style either, but is this a common style for "service
manual" type schematics - where the user is likely to be tracing a
connection on a chip?
When debugging my own PCB I find it quite convenient to have the
components viewed as their physical packages. I even find it
convenient to have the components in the schematic placed in about the
same way as the components are placed on the PCB. And, quess what, I
find it nice to have the schematic connections approximately follow
the routing of the PCB. This calls for a new schematic generated
_after_ the PCB has been made. I guess this work could be done
automagically based on placement information from the PCB program. I
don't think it is possible without more tight integration of schematic
capture and PCB layout program.
