Interesting points of views, but there is one point of view that pushes me 
to drag this thread on. +on+on

i would wish to ask likeminded folks asyourself that, would you, for musical 
purposes confine your self to just one tone or timbre of sound. i bet not. 
ofcourse theres a creative approach to limiting ones self to tools and 
working within confines(minimal Microsound dub anyone?) but that is for 
artistic reasons and id rather confine myself when *i* want to.Id rather be 
afforded the choices to make all the desicions that would affect my music 
making abilities.

ofcourse coding is hard, and the musician has to strike a balance between 
constructing his tools and making music with his tools. these two criteria 
are very closely dependent on each other.

max/msp, supercollider and kyma strike that ballance beautifully for me and 
many other ppl. In MHO Csound is too unresponsive for me and reaktor is too 
limiting for me, i aspire to learn C for music Dsp but thats just a naive 
crush cause im ignorant and suffer from the 'if i had a wall of moog, i 
could make that monster sound'.

as long as the sounds in your head keep leeking out the way your want them 
to sound like, then i guess everything is fine. though if your not happy 
with the sounds you are making, then its not worth it, be you a C++ coder or 
a six stringed axe warrior.
