I still think color coding the nodes was a good idea, in ice anyway. maybe color coding the headers, or having a toggle in the menu bar that allows you to toggle on/off all node colors per type, would be useful for teaching.
Cause i do get that color coding sometimes makes a graph look like pick and mix. But it's also handy opening it up and seeing in the graph instantly where the math nodes are, where the input gemometry/curves/ptCloud where the sim nodes are etc... e.g if somebody hands me a scene with an ice tree in soft, it could be a very messy ice tree, but at least i know that blue nodes usually have to do with importing stuff from outside data/geo/pointcloud..., that light green nodes are math nodes, multiply/divide/If... I don't even have to read the nodes, just by looking at the color i can get a rudimentary idea of what is going on. what is coming in how it is being modified and where it is coming out. So yes, a toggle for node type colors would be Fabulous !
