I know Gripd, and it's a viable alternative in many cases. But then it
doesn't provide much more than the IEMGUIs also provide in Pd, it just
looks a bit better.

I was actually thinking of more "experimental" GUIs, like the things
you are working on with the data structures (that somehow should
become more accessible to get into as widespread use as the
IEMGUIs...).
