Dont consider that important. Better to write your own externals.

It's important if one wants to move away from the visual top-in bottom-out style. For many applications flexible polyphonic sound production is necessary and vital. I suggest to have a look at the SuperCollider language which has the ability to create massively parallel patches, with fully dynamical voice allocation - this is really impressing, but otoh the scripts can be quite hard to comprehend.

That's why i'm developing dyn~ right now. It's a very simple approach to dynamically manage all kinds of pd objects invisibly inside an external. It can serve as a poly~ but also for other applications.
