You can still work around my comments, and continue this discussion, but 
what I'm trying to say is that you can't necessarily just wave some word 
like "intuitive" and explain nothing about why you use it and expect 
people to just nod and call it productive.

Go be productive with your intuitivity if you will, but when I make a 
comment like that, it's because I'm concerned that something is going the 
wrong way. I don't mock for the sake of mocking.

If there can't be any disapproval of your ways, then why do you look like 
you want to get some approval at all? You can simply change the numberbox 
in pd-extended so as to suit your fancy and that would be the end of the 
story.

Now if you could simply present your reasons to believe that a numberbox 
may be unintuitive to beginners in a way so significant that it warrants 
avoiding it, ... it sounds curious, so, I'm curious. Do you think sliders 
are nonintuitive as well? Pd's sliders are pretty nonstandard as far as 
UIs go.
