Nearly all modern 2D graphics systems are modeled after PostScript, including PDF, SVG, Java's Graphics2D, etc. In fact, Adobe employees contributed to the specifications of those technologies. Based on that I'd say PostScript popularized it. Other 2D graphics libs such as X-Windows, AWT, Windows GDI, Apple QuickDraw etc. didn't support transformation matrices. Maybe they never heard about Mobius and Gauss?
