GEM doesn't support geometry shaders at this point. It could turn out that they won't work well with the Pd/GEM environment, but there are other aspects of GL that don't work either. GL was clearly not designed to do what GEM does, so there is a lot of work to be done for each new feature added to GL. There is a lot of compromise needed to fit the latest and greatest into a framework over a decade old.
True. Not sure if you have seen what's on the horizon for OpenGL 3, but the new object model will definitely make things easier to partition and manage in visual programming environments. I'm very much looking forward to it.
