How do you think Pure Data is limited?

for me the only real and important (i can think of at the moment) limitation is the block-based audio processing. to me this seems quite unnatural and inconvenient when dealing with digital audio. it kept me for a couple of years from using pd, though it is only a 'showstopper' in rather few cases, i found out. feedback in large/complex patches for example, since it is not very practical (or possible at all) to re-block everything to 1...

what i tried but couldn't (yet): build a decent piano-roll editor (vanilla).

and i believe too, pd has to 'learn' better multithreading to run adequately on our future machines with hundreds or even thousands of arm-cores...
