Miller, I enjoyed very much reading your note, thanks for sharing your achievements and concerns. As an artist, I found lots of answers on Pd. Many of the things you seem to be worry about are clearly reflected on the software and all the community.
Thanks!
"(...) upon starting a commercial spreadsheet program, the user sees something very different from the empty sheet of virtual paper that Max offers. And since the page isn't blank at the outset but is structured, the user will be constrained to move within the ordained structure."
"The computer should ideally feel in the musician's hands like a musical instrument, needing only to be tuned up and then played. Has Max reached this ideal? Certainly not, and neither has any other piece of computer music software. I hope at least that, in the long term, it will prove to have been a step in a good direction. "

Here's a little historical question I'm curious about: why wasn't the rightmost inlet on all objects originally made to be the hot/active inlet?
The one benefit I see to having the leftmost inlet be the hot inlet is that names of objects are more likely to be left-aligned. Is that basically the reason?
