In my opinion octave approach of having one command line program and many different GUIs, isn't the best solution. FreeMat has its own gui, and especially for plotting, to have a plotting engine to designed for being Matlab compatible is IMHO a better solution. Anyway, I agree with this official FreeMat FAQ: Q. Why another MATLAB clone? Have you heard of Octave, Scilab, etc.? Yes! FreeMat is chartered to go beyond MATLAB to include features such as a codeless interface to external C/C++/FORTRAN code, parallel/distributed algorithm development (via MPI), and advanced volume and 3D visualization capabilities. As for the open source alternatives, try them out and decide for yourself. Who said choice was a bad thing? Giuseppe.
