Pure Data's UI works identically on all platforms. The others I mentioned are text languages.

If you've never used anything other than SC, it's well worth learning some others. Different paradigms make different things easier, and thus affect what you are most likely to do with them.

Personally, my axe of choice these days is running text languages from within the patchers, such as Csound in Max or PD.

Like, using the patchers for flow, and the text to define node behavior? If so, can you offer pointers to where that’s explained for pd?
