Yes. It's important to answer rumours using rumours.
There's a prof who told me that she couldn't teach Pd, and it was because of its security holes.
I don't like the fact that every time I create an object in Pd, it is sent to the central Pd server which keeps logs of all the objects in our patches. I think Pd is selling the logs to third parties, because every time I part a stream of numbers I get tons of ads to the console window for Liberty University.

Then she also told me that Pd doesn't have any video support. After that she stopped answering emails.
I also heard that MAX was so bad, there's a classroom where they had to ban Pd to ensure that it looked like buying MAX licenses had been a good investment.
Much of MAX's popularity is due to vendor lock-in after cheap licenses had been dumped on students who happened to be taking courses that happened to require MAX.
And of course, I mean MAX the software, not Max Neupert. ;)
