sorry: a simple, straightforward and misleading answer.

oh, i have.
i don't use Pd-extended, i don't know where i should have put these
abstractions.
iirc, i have also posted such a wrapper on this list.

what?
osc and net? maybe, because it deals with 2 different topics?
and how do you notice that it is split into 2 "different" libs in PdX?

ähm, what is the "standard OSC objects".

it's not about "better" functionality.
it's about a broken and unmaintained object that only works in the most
simple cases vs. an actively maintained one.
i hardly ever care for the "added" functionality (if by
"added/additional/superfluous" you really mean "according to the OSC
standard"), like having typetags.
however, i do care for if an object will crash during performance or not.

i totally agree.
this is why i don't understandd why anybody would recommend the
outdated, non-maintained, broken choice of these 2 libs.

??
when using oscx, you are using a library: so either Path or [import] (or
better [declare]) have to be discussed first.
so what's the difference to mrpeach's libs?
however, indeed you have to use 2 objects instead of just 1. big fat bummer!

crashes.
osc-standards.
ability to communicate with OSC-apps over udp/tcp/usb/...
