The biggest dispute I see in the discussion is about pin order, but this is only a question about the bigger topics: Functional vs physical! If I make a good schematic to prepare my layout work, then it is far better to make the schematic looking as close as possible to the layout, e.g. draw the pin order not according to what someone else does in the datasheet, but as it really is. Also consider to leave a bit more space around big elements, like power devices, e.g. also draw a heatsink "symbol". If ground should be anyway a large plane, then also better go for connections by name, which also helps to avoid having many crossings. On the other hand if nobody can avoid a crossing of sensitive lines, then draw the schematic so that is becomes a guidance for good layout, e.g. the high-impedance side of a resistor divider should have usually a short connection, whereas the driving wires can be often longer without problems.
For digital IC's I tend to use automatic routers and sticking to functional order. Another controverse topic could be how to draw a differential amplifier, and e.g. a multistage amplifier, like should we draw each stage in the usual way and then wire to next stage (which often ends up in many crossings), or should we really draw the diff pairs in a symmetrical way (often done in old Tectronics osci schematics)? Here it depends also on the purpose, and how critical keeping symmetry really is. In RF circuits, having often not so many elements, I prefer again drawings very close to layout.
