Currently, selected transformers can be positioned by right-clicking and selecting either Align or Spread.  Align provides the following options: Left, Middle, Right, Top, Center, or Bottom.  Spread provides the following options: Horizontal or Vertical.

I’d like to allow the user to align transformers by ports.  I often find myself trying (and failing) to align transformers so that the output of one transformer directly aligns with the input of another transformer.

Ha! You're like me. You like straight connection lines. 

I find that it helps to use the control key (when moving a transformer to create an alignment) and then use the shift key too (when moving a transformer that is already aligned).

Still, I wouldn’t be against your idea! It would make it easier for me.
