Which doesn't contradict my statement that Pd is a suitable tool for live performances, otherwise these people in the know would use something else. (Pd also is a programming language, so part of the suitability for certain tasks depends on the quality of the programs written.) My point is: We shouldn't make Pd worse than it actually is. Apart from Supercollider (and somehow Csound) there is not a single piece of free software in its realm that managed to be the tool of choice for so many people for such a long time now. Pd throughout its 10-year history and with every major revision always was a usable tool for live performances (probably also thanks to Miller's conservatism when it comes to doing deep changes to the software). It's much more than just a prototyping tool, it always was a tool for practioneers.
