Hi, In the past, I didn't use much the nodes because most of my scene were large and required generally much more place on the screen than the surface of my screen and even two screens.

Since Instances are here, I use nodes a lot to place instanced obj, with a huge use of geometry and placement nodes (large detailed city scene).

I often have to connect pins that are very far away from each other, and I have to add additional placement nodes (with no changed values) used as relays, because I can't connect to a link out of the screen (no auto panning).

:arrow: A zoom feature would be very welcome, as well as auto panning.

:arrow: The ability to simplify groups of nodes by encapsulating a bunch of them in a box like in Blender, with displaying only inputs and outputs, would allow complex setups without a crowded screen and the need of searching around on a surface larger than nine screens !

Better if we can move some part of the interface to another screen ,eg.. the graph editor...
+999999 for Auto Panning when connecting a node :P

Octane nodes need moar organizing tools: Frame nodes in Blender

...and a generalized macro container with arbitrary inputs & outputs, like Blender's node group explained here.
