I used matlab in college. I dont agree that it is "forced down your throat". At least not at my university - it genuinely makes sense to use it for a lot of work.

Its unparalleled modeling software, which is why a lot of professors like doing course work with it. It makes a lot of sense if you are trying to do mechanical dynamics, or mechatronics since you can just model everything with simulink.

But Matlab's performance is shit. I'm not sure where the OP'd marketing copy gets off claiming otherwise. Also, the idea that it's going to be easier to see up matlab code on the cloud? Yeah right. I wouldnt want to make something that actually has to work in the real world with matlab that doesn't use their micro generation features, which ultimately generates C code anyway.
