Pd + Csound was my preferred setup for a while. I loved it. You could set up a patch, for instance, to compare the sounds of all of the Csound filters, for example, and by hitting a button in Pd switch between them. Another favorite trick was to set up a Pd patch with two instances of csoundapi~ and crossfade/switch between them in order to reload the Csound file as I changed it. Live coding for the orchestra. Pd also has one capability I always wished for in Csound, which is to treat FFT data as audio, so you can apply arbitrary math, filters, etc. to it. One could, of course, pass that FFT data to Csound as audio, as Csound makes sample-specific math easier, then pass it back and resynthesize it. These days I've been using Csound with Python, designing GUIs in TkInter when I want them, but I haven't really replaced the ease of using Pd. As for SC and ChucK, if I'm not mistaken, all environments mentioned support OSC.
