I spent more time attempting to build and install jMAX then actually using it. Christian Klippel ported FFTEASE to it nicely and there was an awesome granular patch that someone built that worked on 2.5, but then it plummetted.
I use pd recently for GEM, pdp, PIDIP an gridflow. It is nice. I recently have tried Jitter and it works very well too. I have noticed that the same type of patch is a little faster on Jitter than on GEM, but i think that is because of a mem leak with pdp_ieee1394.

Jitter is a clone of GridFlow.
-Jitter is rumored to be 'inspired' by nato 0,55 of the (in)famous NN-aglomerate.
implementing an alternative gui for jmax in python was (i think) only an attempt to make jMax fit better into an opensource project like agnula (they had license problems dueto java)
Right, and also the Java/Swing UI had too many bugs, several of which were in SUN's and IBM's implementations of Java/Swing.
-I have always been puzzled by this insistence on using java for the GUI. Seems to me also being the main reason why people disbanded jMax. and moved either to PD or to Max/MSP.
Oh, and as far as I can tell, IRCAM has destroyed the mailing-list archives of the old jMax, which conveniently removes most traces of the existence of former 3rd-party developers.
-I don't know that's the reason, but its disappearance is strange, to say the least.
