Someone down-voted me just for asking. I have no idea about any of this stuff and I was just genuinely curious. Apparently people are pretty polarized about Matlab. Thanks for explaining that to me.
People take the internet way too seriously :/
>Apparently people are pretty polarized about Matlab
Yes, very much so. Much of the contention comes from the obscene licensing prices coupled with the fact that its a terrible language.
I hate Matlab, but I've got to admit that the toolboxes are without peer.
You can always use Octave.
It reads less like you are asking a question, and more like "well yeah, duh, of course that's why they did that".

I really don't understand how the intention of my question is ambiguous to anyone. But luckily this issue is completely trivial anyway I suppose.
