Pd is not made for it (it merely allows it). it seems like many new users go directly into dynamic-patching hell, because having multiple instances of objects is so easy in other languages. this is simply not the case with Pd, but once newbies complain about it, they are usually told that their problem is solvable with dynamic patching. while this is true, it also remains true that Pd is simply bad at this.
ah yes: and dynamic patching can be fun.

[*] with "sane" i mean: i haven't seen any non-trivial patch that is maintainable and uses dynamic patching. "trivial" patches would include things like your own [trigger] implementation: a utility object that does a very simple thing and makes live a lot easier. you (or at least: I) don't want to have part of your business-logic depend on dynamic patching.
thanks, that's exactly the kind of information i was looking for :-D
