Its use is mostly limited to STEM undergrads that for some reason have trouble installing/running MATLAB.
Especially in Engineering (Mechanical/Electrical/Civil) Octave is not a substitute to MATLAB for the simple fact the former does not feature the various toolboxes useful to practicing engineers.
