That's what the Node Editor is trying to do. It still misses more than a handful of things to replace the (badly) aging HS, but it's certainly better, at least at showing ports, than the HS. The connection editor has, historically, been a blight on the face of software design, but the old windows will still force you to suffer it.
The NE is alright, but it completely misses a bunch of things, particularly library management of any sort.
