I agree with "Miso Soup": PD is free, Max is not. So for me Max is elitist and not so friendly. I started to use Max a long time ago, before PD, because I had access to elitist facilities (a university lab and a fancy production studio). At some point I had to get my own expensive computer (Macintosh), without enough money to buy Max, so I borrowed a Max floppy disk with no installation key for a few years. Then Linux and PD started to be good enough and it was time to get a new computer; Max on the Macintosh is actually what made me switch to free software on the desktop, PD don't have the fanciest gui, but it's lightweight, fast and very free. I guess we all have our views about elitism...
