Peter! I've used both Pd/Max and Processing.org/controlp5 for ChucK GUI controls.
Personally, I find the dataflow model of Pd/Max to be very well suited to event-oriented things like user interface: just pipe your ui objects / number boxes / what have you straight to a `udpsend` object, and you don't have to think about an event loop. Another potential advantage of Pd/Max is that it's inherently suited to livecoding, whereas a Processing patch needs to be recompiled when you make changes. On the other hand, Processing provides many more tools than Max (and especially Pd) for prettying-up your interface. I start almost every project with a UI in Pd/Max, but if my interface needs to be used by other people, I'll often switch over to Processing to provide more visual control in a final 'release' version. I'll always use Pd/Max when I'm livecoding, so that I can easily add UI elements on-the-fly as I need them. When livecoding I don't really care about how pretty my interface is since it's for one-time use.
