shade by elitist attitude.
Sometimes I think what can be perceived as 'elitism' is actually just a lack of time. Remember that the people working on this aren't being paid; they are hobbyists producing code in their spare time. They may simply not have the resources to solve your particular problem and hence they ask you to try and solve it yourself.
Bugger, time to switch.
If Pd/GEM can't solve your problem, then there is nothing wrong with trying out different software. If you're unsatisfied, maybe try another Free Software tool that does a similar job?
Best,
