Nevertheless, I understand that people prefer to use the native objects, my propositions are totally subjective and I think that a big part come from my experience with Max. Another reason of this work is that I have another project and I need some specific methods in the objects. I hope that you'll find this library more interesting when I'll be able to present this work.

For Coffee : I work with Pd Vanilla 0.45 so I don't really use extented and it was really fast and easy to code them so I did it... Except "prepend", I don't know where are this objects in Extented (I'll be glad to know it) and if we put the libraries in the extented distribution, we can remove my objects (it doesn't matter).

The names came from a stupid joke with a friend where Vanilla became Chocolate and Extented became Enhanced, nothing is really serious  (don't worry, I do not claim to replace Vanilla or Extended). When I realized that perhaps others than me could be interested to use the library, I wanted to change the name to avoid mistake but it's really boring to do.

as said before: they are great.

but i'm not so sure about these: i think each and every of these objects
already exists in another library (often in the context of a more
complete set of similar objects), so i don't fully see the point of them.

and i would suggest to use another name instead of "PdEnhanced".
the name suggests that it is a flavour (and the use of "chocolate" and
"coffee" support this)  of Pd itself (like Pd-extended or Pd-l2ork) but
your set of libraries really is just another set of libraries... there
about 100 libraries in the puredata SVN repository at sourceforge.
i guess it would be quite confusing if all of these libraries would be
called "PdEnhanced".

Realize that you're responding to someone who gave his library the extraordinarily clear and descriptive name of "zexy" :)
