I converted from Max to PD a couple of years ago. PD runs on any modern OS, it's free and the support is impeccable. Why anyone would continue to use Max is beyond me at this point. I think the only thing I missed was being able to create pretty, stand-alone applications but I got over that a long time ago.

right now i'm writing a report on the effectiveness of Pd for use inspatial audio. i'm also somewhat comparing it to its competition; csound, reaktor, and of course the various versions of MAX. it's been very hard trying to understand the current state of things, for example which is more widely used and has more people working on it?
i've read a lot about the various incarnations of MAX including jMAX,MAX/MSP, Pd, and all the old stuff like MAX/Opcode, MAX/FTS, Patcher, ISPW stuff, etc.
have any of you tried several different things and have any usefulcomparison info? how are the expansions in jMAX and MAX/MSP comparable to the expansions in Pd like GEM and GriPD? thanks,
