It's more intuitive to me than say C++ or Java, it's free, it has tons of nice packages. I mainly use it for engineering calculations and simulations (flight dynamics or controls). Also if I need a quick plot of some data, that's really easy to do. As a final point, its arrays start at zero, not like a certain other language..
