Minimal or to-the-point-ness of an application can be very desirable.  
To illustrate I've for the same reasons used EevilWM not Gnome/KDE/ 
Fluxbox.

That is also doable in Pd as is with fx. send/receive or OSC. One can  
even make a custom GUI in another environment and make it  
communicates with a (set of) Pd patch(es).

Agreed.

As i see it it's the choice of the programer (ie. Pd user) how the  
interface should be. There are a lot of artistic motivation in that  
choice.
