I have never used JMax but it seems from what I read that it is more for sound and music than video interactivity.
PureData also was only for sound and music in the beginning. It's not specially made for video, but the plugin interface is flexible enough, and so was jMax's.
So, in 2001, Alexandre Castonguay brought a few of us together to make us create the first video plugin for jMax. Things went differently and a few months later we had two video plugins for jMax: a high-speed one called VideoDSP (or VDSP) and a flexible one called video4jmax, which by the end of the year had its name changed to GridFlow.
Oh, and as far as I can tell, IRCAM has destroyed the mailing-list archives of the old jMax, which conveniently removes most traces of the existence of former 3rd-party developers.
