Could you clarify more? I think I agree when it comes to pd but not the other audio DSLs, pd has the unfortunate image of being a modular synth program which is not at all accurate and I have noticed many pick it up because of that image and it kills their momentum, they spend a great deal of time learning a tool that is far more than they want or need. I have not noticed much of this in the other audio DSL communities I have been a part of over the years, people have a much clearer idea of what they are getting into. But I am not sure I understand what you are saying.
