For starters, how about a chart where the x axis is NOT time? How are
you going to do that in TS? Then there's the 3-D charts, and other
charts where you can visualize information in ways that you can only
dream about in TS.

And, yes, you could always add a graphics package, and you could add
this and that, all from C++, but the point is that these are all there
in Matlab, ready to go - it is the same argument you are making for
TS, but applied to the math world. :-)

There IS a good reason why so many people use Matlab. It is like the
"TS" for math. :-) A few lines of code, and you are looking at a
complex 3-D chart of a matrix. How long would it take you to do that
in EL?
