I'm really glad people wrote octave and gave it to me for free, but I found a lot of unimpletmented functionality that kept me from getting things done, for example in image handling. I tried to port some code from matlab a couple of years ago, and ultimately had to start over with another environment after losing a lot of time. The basic stuff for things like math and plotting seemed to be present and complete in octave, but as soon as I got away from those kinds of things, I started finding stubbed functions and broken stuff. I hope that either I just didn't know what I was doing, or that octave is getting more well rounded...
