Well... In a way I tend to be messy when patching, and found that Pd 
makes me be a little more disciplined. When I used max i tended to 
easily get "spaghetti patches"... but that's probably me.
Apart the fact I switched to linux as my only os since a while and that 
Pd is free (as in beer ans speech) and open source, I just came to 
prefer it to max. This is again personal experience of course.

Best,
Lorenzo
