I hate apps auto-starting Jack. Setting Jack right is a tricky task and it is good to have proper way to monitor the daemon. That is why we have front-ends like qjackctl or Cadence. With jack auto-started in the background we loose much of the control and apps may become unpredictable when they are sometimes started after qjackctl/Cadence and sometimes before that. I prefer to see the warning message that Jack is not running. On the other hand, I can understand some may prefer more transparent behavior, like it happens with PulseAudio.
