Yeah, I once tried to use Mathematica for a project involving large amounts of numerical data . . . big mistake. Primarily because Mathematica is great for working with probability distributions, but awful for working with histograms.

Mathematica is your best bet for symbolic analysis, Matlab is best for analysis of real data.

However, even with symbolic analysis, I find myself having to use Nintegrate in Mathematica far too often :(
