Yeah it's kind of a bummer but Max4Live really helps mitigate things. Especially as a coder, its pretty cool to just pop up a Max js object and work with the Max4Live API directly in code. I'm a long time Reaktor and Max user, but these days I find the mouse-based box-and-wire interface painful when you want to make something somewhat complicated. I believe Resoise has Lua scripting now no? That seems pretty cool, gotta take a look even though I always find trackers to be somewhat tough to get used to.
