IMO QjackCtl is the second best tool to organize connections. The best
way isn't to use a separated tool at all. In my experiences there's no
need to use QackCtl, when using Ardour. However, Qjackctl follows a
patchbay approach and Patchage simulates messy placed gear. In the real
world we are using a patchbay, to easily connect messy placed gear.In
short, QjackCtl does the right thing, while IMO the approach of
Patchage is (to put it politely) absurd.
