RE: Max/MSP vs. PD vs. jMax

What about Synthedit? http://www.synthedit.com/

It's basically a VST effect/instrument creation tool.  But, you can write
your own C modules to do whatever you want.  There's a decent SE community,
but unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of egos and childish behavior on
the lists.  But, there are some great people who help and Jeff (the 
creator)
is always willing to answer questions.  

The Crystal synth http://www.greenoak.com/crystal/download.html and
Elogoxa's Elotronix looper http://www.elogoxa.net/ were done with SE.
