Definetly. IMO subpatches in a modular synth are as important as
"Undo" in a text editor. They not only can hide things, they make
modular and object oriented development with lots of re-use
possible. In this regard it also is crucial, that subpatches accept
arguments like functions in most programming languages (C, Python,
...).
I think there is a difference between modular synths and modular programming
environments, they are not necessarily the same thing. You certainly never had
subpatches on analogue modulars :) Having said that I think it's inevitable
that ssm will be getting this functionality (in fact Joe Jones has been
working on this). I don't want ssm to be seen as a programming environment though.
