As many other said before, I personally think there is nothing to compare. All of them are quite separate environments, and i mean not only computing capabilities, flexibility and GUI, but above all each community supporting the projects. "this" is not better than "that", it's only about what fit best your needs. So first point out which are exactly your needs. Learning Pd can be difficult and exhausting in the beg, but once you get familiar with it, I can assure you it's only pleasure. And there is a world of things you can't do with any other software. But you have to find out what. Of course if you don't want to spend too much time _learning_ that's a different situation. Your needs will tell you.
