Being more of a software engineer than a mathematician, and having no MatLab experience, and more basic Mathematica experience. That is, in fact, the the impression that I get. But I still see people using MatLab what seems like more often, and have no weight to backup my claim. I suppose I could learn both and do research, but in general, that seems so less important than getting actual work done. One aspect that seems to be brought up about MatLab often is the community, it's often claimed, especially in the co punter vision world, that if an algorithm exists, it has an available implementation in MatLab source. Which seems significant.
