For GUI stuff, I still prefer Pd, because I'm used

quick to build in Pd. In SC3 I'm mostly interested in dynamically
building (synth) networks, which is very hard or at least awkward to
do in Pd. Then Pd would control SC through OSC.
at some point i was interested walking the other direction of
the food chain: dynamically create PD guis via OSC from SC.
d.lj provided me with some impressing PD patches but alas,
it's a hack.
I'm actually looking for an alternative edit
environment for SC, so I
can bypass Emacs. I tried Emacs two or three times in the recent past
just for SC, but then I found, that in Emacs the Backspace or Delete
key (the C-h one) still didn't work as expected and I said to myself:
"No, after all these years I'm *not* letting Emacs force me to
customize the Backspace key in some .emacs file on my own. This is
just not my job, it's the job of Mr. and Mrs. Emacs. I refuse to do
this."
initially i wanted to implement an SC interface in vim; the
reason emacs was chosen is the fact that the old lisp monster
is about the only editor on earth that handles subprocess
communication (relatively) cleanly. btw try backspace in vi
(not vim).
