For me, idealistically it's about total exposure of a performance to the
audience. It's about laying your algorithms on the table face up to show whats
going on. I don't think it has anything to do with what you use to do that -
if it's a java app soundtoy that you can reconfigure openly to operate
differently - so be it.
I suppose I don't see programming as being about typing and text editors.
That's just the interface to programming.
Perhaps we disagree - how exciting! :)
