My experience with PD on OS X hasn't been terribly good. It's known to 
be a bit shifty, as much of the focus goes to the Linux  and Windows 
platforms, as OS X users have had Max since the dawn of time. I must 
admit though, after shelling out for Max/MSP/Jitter, I'm not too 
interested in PD. ;-)
