There are plenty of musicians, not many of which fall neatly into the IDM
category, that exclusively use tools like Csound, ChucK, Supercollider, Max,
etc. to make their music. I'd say they're more on the academically
experimental side of things, like Florian Hecker or Iannis Xenakis.
Probably lots of professors and students of music technology and related
fields.
I'm sure a lot of dedicated electronic musicians who may fall into the sound
you're describing have a working knowledge of one or more of the
aforementioned systems. For example, Richard Devine knows Dr. Richard
Boulanger (the guy who wrote The Csound Book and runs the Csound
website<
http://www.csounds.com>)
personally. So he obviously has used Csound but doesn't limit himself by
any means. In short, "programmatic" methods are tools more often used to
further sound design and composition abilities. Along with anything else.
Except maybe the Casio Rapman.
