For someone who knows them well, yes. But in the other case, if you have to learn one of them from scratch just to solve a particular problem, I'm pretty sure that Pd is the easier way to go. And that is *not* just because it has a graphical user interface. Take SC. I love the way the synthesis engine works and can be controlled using OSC. But, even as a programmer, that is someone used to writing formal instructions and descriptions in a text based format, I have to *fight* the SC language all the time. IMHO it's a mess, and it seems to be designed to allow spectacular one-liners rather than for clarity and consistency. I'm using it now only to write synthdefs, for all the rest I use Python.
