How does it compare to Maxima? http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ http://maxima.sourceforge.net/

  GNU Calc (M-x calc in Emacs) is also a fairly capable CAS, and I love its RPN interface.

    Thanks for that! I didn't know it had some algebra integrated. However, it wouldn't simplify (x+1)/(-x-1) (it does simplify -x/x though).

      Try the "a n" command.

  As a standalone CAS, Maxima is more fully featured than SymPy. But, it's harder to use with other packages. With SymPy, you can do your work with the CAS and then use the results with NumPy, SciPy, or Theano.
