[PlanetCCRMA] Snd, pd, or CSound?

[Brian Good]

Hi all,

After just fooling around with Timidity and Zyn and Muse and ReZound and 
Hydrogen and Rosegarden
and Audacity for a year, I'm wishing to invest the time in learning Snd or 
pd or CSound.

Can anybody expound on their relative merits?  That I have library reference 
access to Boulanger's
book leans me toward CSound.  I've done simple C programming and I've 
progammed pic
microcontrollers, so working in code doesn't bother me, but since the 
learning curve for all these
packages seems pretty steep I'd like to pick my mountain carefully.
