Not at all. At Lockheed (probably one of Mathwork's biggest customers) the big use case is the toolboxes. Scientific/engineering packages like signal processing, radar, phased array, embedded/VHDL are 2nd to none and are used daily. Some sites also used a lot more of the Simulink side for modeling & simulation.

- ska 7y agoOnly some of the packages are 2nd to none, but as you note some of them like Simulink have large and dedicated userbases. I've heard very mixed results from the VHDL stuff, but some people love it.
