Sometimes I think what can be perceived as 'elitism' is actually just a
lack of time. Remember that the people working on this aren't being
paid; they are hobbyists producing code in their spare time. They may
simply not have the resources to solve your particular problem and hence
they ask you to try and solve it yourself.

If Pd/GEM can't solve your problem, then there is nothing wrong with
trying out different software. If you're unsatisfied, maybe try another
Free Software tool that does a similar job?

Best,

Chris.
