Yea, tried that, there went about 2 years using a buggy, ugly, awkward
sequencer for doing standard rhythmic stuff, instead of just using a
tried-and-true piece of software.  I constantly had to stop thinking about
music in order to fix my pd sequencer, or add some common feature. Live is
really put together well, so many things that you take for granted until you
actually try to implement something similar yourself.  I'm not saying it
does everything or even close, but it does the simple stuff really well and
saves the end-user/programmer from having to worry about it.
