I'd say something like this:
If I am one of not so many, let it be. Let's leave auto hide sockets
when collapsing the node, but could we have the option to hit Ctl-H to
unhide them if we want?
I know that Lukas can do EVERYTHING :-)
The point here is to agree what option would make the majority happy,
right?
But still... If I as a member of the minority had the option to unhide
hidden sockets of collapsed nodes - I don't think it would make any
harm to the majority who loves to have them always hidden :-)

Easy, because Lukas will read this thread and say "HEY! I could make
the
sockets visible of only the nodes close to the mouse when hovering
over
them" :D

In many cases I do. Believe it or not :-)
If I don't like such collapsed node, I can hit Ctl-H and unused
sockets
are hidden.
It was so up till 2.61.
Let me then ask another question:
What's good with this one?

How would you connect those nodes?

unless you're a psychic how do you know what each of those sockets
is!

If I understand you correctly you mean not being able to select
individual
socket and connect to the selected one?
If so - I've been fighting for bringing this feature back for
some time
now.
In 2.49 we could simply select the output socket of one node, input
socket
of another node, hit F and BAM - connection created.
Now it's gone.
Imagine node group with 17 outputs and another node group with 17
inputs.
Let's now connect output 7 of first group to input 16 of second
group...
You have to drag the connection holding down the mouse button.
It's ok when your groups are placed close to each other, but
that's not
always the case.
or:
We have Render Layer input node with several passes.
Let's connect AO pass to 5 inputs of 5 other nodes.
It would be great to be able to select AO output socket then
shift select
ALL of the inputs, hit F and have all 5 connections.
and once again: Please, please, please don't force me to unhide
every
node
to make a connection by auto hiding unused sockets in collapsed
nodes.
What was wrong with leaving the option to the user? If I really
wanted to
hide unused sockets I could hit Ctl-H.

I can also confirm this is very confusing, I nearly reported a
bug the
first time I came across this (I think I eventually figured it
out). I
don't think this should be a default.

Hello,
Am I the only one who hates auto hide sockets when we hit H to
collapse
the node?
Collapsing the node doesn't mean that I will not want to connect
anything
to it later.
In older versions of Blender when we hit H - the node was
collapsed
but
we
had the access to its sockets.
Now when I hit H - the node becomes useless.
If I want to connect anything to it I have to first unhide it,
then
connect something to it, then hide it again. It's frustrating
because
I
have to go through some unnecessary steps just to make a simple
connection.
Please tell me - am I the only one?
