You mean in Purr Data or Pd Vanilla? In Purr Data you can still use spaces,
which is great, but that's not true for vanilla, and vanilla benefits from
cyclone's comment even if purr data has some built in alternative. But even
so, using comment is much more convenient than using a canvas' label to
write stuff, as it works like a regular comment and you can start typing on
it right away. Not sure how to write a o paragraph or something as a canvas
label.

There are some other missing functionalities we're about to include in
cyclone comment, like the ability to compose messages with
"append"/"prepend", plus underline it, use italic/bold and the like.

yep, but until we have a cyclone/comment option for Purr Data, we'll have
to do this.
