My point is, I wish pd didn't force me to work it's way but allow me to work my way. That's the beauty of patching as opposed to vsts, etc. You have to build form the ground up.
Well, Pd is a programming language, and as with all language, you can say things you'd have wished you didn't say or with programming: It easy to overload any machine (bang until) with a programming language.
I have to say that with most programming languages an infinite loop does not mean an X crash. Probably I should contribute code, not words (sorry).
I never had X crash with bang-until, so that's new to me. However a loop in an audio language can be worse than in a "normal" programm, as software like Pd often is run with higher priorities to get better latency performance. Of course then an endless loop is a bit trickier to get out of. :(
