I have just a minor suggestion for an improvement.
What if it were possible to edit a Pd patch as text from within Pd?
I often open a patch in a text editor in order to mass copy sends and
receives or GUI elements or whatever.  The syntax is straightforward
enough that sometimes this is quicker than clicking, for a whole bunch
of items.  It would be cool if I could do that from within Pd, without
closing the patch...
