i've been a matlab user for almost 3 years, this is a great tool for economist and engineers. I made a lot of signal processing and data analysis with this tools.
Ths issue is that this app wasn't free, and the subscription is so damn expensive, and I would say this is the only programming language that need to be paid to use.
Therefore, the only use case for me is for school or academic purposes, otherwise, I use python for most of the things I needed from matlab.
