I actually really enjoy using it, why do you not like it? It has its quirks but for me they almost make me enjoy the creative process more.

While conceptually sound, CSound offers an unintuitive interface and program flow in my opinion. Also the lack of ability to do more "human-readable" actions like use music notes out of the box is a point of frustration (although it is possible with some extra steps.)

Care to explain why, for someone who hasn't used this tool?

the syntax for the language is horrible and very difficult to understand, the gui is hard to use and unstable, its just generally worse than other sound programming langs like supercollider

Have you tried other musical programming languages like supercollider and puredata? I find them to be quite a bit crazier.
Csound is ridiculously straight forward in comparison. Absurdly more comprehensible to me

supercollider is way better than csound
Re: Csound: A sound and music computing system
#9What does it do?
These hint at some neat possibilities but I still don't get it:
a sound and music computing system
a tool for composing electro-acoustic pieces
real-time

I suppose I should say the language itself is hindered by the horrible GUI application it runs in, the interface is ancient and dated, and the application crashed constantly on Mac. I took a class that that required the use of CSound, so I haven't explored the various options
