Sorry, Frank, for posting out of list.
Yes, i agree, pd has a very important advantage. this is free and open source (for the present). MAX/MSP for MAC costs about 500 $ and 300$ for students. I won`t to comment this, we will see.
i love free pd and hope this will going on.
For example: if i lead an open-source-software workshop, i know, i`m doing that for demonstration of great possibilities to other people and for imparting knowledge to them. But if that software is commercial i shall a dealer in software.

pd isnt free. [perhaps if one is 99 prozent brain free]
if you wish to choose a semi-valid reason choose the fact that cycling74 are an amalgam of thieves and
it is feasible they will be buried in law suits at one point in model citizen time.

secondly what they haven't stolen they licensed [zkip the ultra cheezy $1 pluggo]
a bunch of inkompetent supermarket buffoons with 0+0 ideas.
is pd better +? well ___... different shades of u gli ness. most of the data worth anything has been authored by `3rd parties`.
if you wish to choose an ultra valid reason choose the fakt
overall max + msp + pd + gem = rigid \ uneventful + ultra ugggggllllllyy xy refuse. as most everything else in the digital domain.
shall see beauty however.

sweeping statements are polluting and opinions are cheap. you advertise like coca-cola.

it's called open source collaboration. see gnu/linux.

thanks to Thomas Grill + Larry Troxler, you can write Python and Scheme within PD, which makes it quite the opposite of 'rigid', and in fact offers the user a way to do almost anything, wihout paying a license fee (as opposed to max, NATO, etc.). This means 'ugly' and 'rigid' now depend on you state of mind and skills as a programmer, not on the framework.
the real refuse of the 'digital domain' are the ultra-opinionated pseudocharacters who pile hipocritical releases of their own commercial, cryptically wonderful software, and who blame the tools to appear to be the cool, alternative solution.
get on with it.
