MATLAB vs Octave

MATLAB is much faster and the built in IDE is the greatest IDE ever created and the only one worth using.

On the other hand, Octave's has some syntax extensions that really make it look nicer.

I can't decide.

gcc is bloated. You pick software from one of the largest open source projects on the planet and compare it to the pile of shit that is TurboC. And even then, gcc isn't the best.

You intentionally misinterpreted my argument. My argument is that propriety software, in general, have a more motivated and organized team working on it which leads to better software.
