Pd-extended is a more powerful, but in fact less standardized
platform than
Pd-vanilla w/o externals. It's in its nature.
That's not a really useful comparison. GNU without X is really
standardized, but if you want a GUI, then you get into GNOME, KDE,
xfce, etc.
Try doing lots of list operations without list-abs on Pd-vanilla, or
try doing OpenGL without Gem on Pd-vanilla. Libraries are very useful
things.
