well, pd is a piece of software, that is able to do a few things, and
is lacking a lot of features ... (especially, it's not designed to be
click-free)

a user interface is a pretty important part of the software, since it's
the "interface" to the "user" ... a bit more, than the cover of a book.
beside that, there are more severe changes in devel, (dsp) scheduling,
threading, that aim to a clean solution, but they won't result in a
clean solution, if 20000 groups of developers are inventing 20001
wheels ... some other changes that would result in a click-free
software will require some even larger changes, not to mention that it
will most likely collide with other changes, if it's not coordinated.

personally i have to admit, that i'm really fed up with this whole
discussion. pd will probably me my audio programming language for the
next few years, but it will definitely not be my long-term solution!

cheers ... tim
