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.

I really prefer Patchage over QjackCtl's
patchbay (actually, I don't
even use QjackCtl anymore) because it allows you to have everything
on one viewport, Jack audio, and both ALSA and Jack midi, and place
everything where you need, allowing you a better graphical
organization of the patchbay. When you have projects with more than
30-40 ports, that could be a mess in QjackCtl.
It starts to get to be a real mess in patchage too, pretty quick, even
with full screen. Even 10 tracks with a few effects busses gets to
that 30 or more ports. Add drums... and the numbers go up quick. Grid
based, sectioned starts to look really good. That is splitting the
midi from audio, inputs from outputs, hardware from software, etc.
