Morale of story: In my belief, abstraction collections that (as default) only rely on core objects make life much easier for just about everyone, beginners and advanced users.
you are right. but then you still have the problem that the abstraction collections are not shipped with core pd. so what exactly is the advantage in terms of compatibility? your patch would still be useless without the missing abstraction objects.
True, but I could bundle the abstractions with the patch easily, as nothing needs to be compiled.
That's fine for experienced users who can search for used abstractions and zip it all up, but what Pd currently lacks is any notion of "export project" which does all that work for you.
This is why I still try to put everything into a single vanilla file when giving patches to teach/demonstrate (rather than for my own use). I just can't yet make any sensible assumption about what abstractions the user has got (although that is changing now pd-extended is becoming more defined).
