    Only just scratched the surface of what Max 5 can do, but I'm already blown away. I had used 4.5 before a bit, but Max 5's tutorials are the best I've seen on any music app ever!!

Pros

Revamped, builder-friendly GUI. Won't alienate existing users. Tempo-syncable time objects. Integrated help documentation. Presentation mode's patches streamlined.

Cons

No built-in auto-update. Many existing third-party UI objects will need rewriting. Max 4 Pluggo plug-ins need converting.

Verdict

High on usability and low on bugs, Max 5 is a top-notch programming environment.
