That's my view as well. The solution I'm staying with is to keep  
devices mounted into a small rack (4 or 6 high - have two set-ups),  
all connected and ready. When setting up at soundcheck I make five  
cable connections to get going:
- Laptop (1 firewire cable, 1 USB cable, 1 power cable)
- MIDI foot controller + MIDI hand controller (1 MIDI cable)
- Microphone (XLR cable)
- Instrument line (1 line plug cable)
- Rack output to PA (1 XLR)
