    I’ve had more than one job where Matlab was used extensively, guess my coworkers and I aren’t real engineers.

    I’d rather use something else, but if it’s what the group already uses, fine, I’ll do it

    Also, I don’t do a ton of true programming on it. It’s a fancy calculator, and occasionally I make a GUI app with it

        I mean, I agree with you, I’d never pay for a Matlab license for myself if I ever decide to go the private engineering consultant route. Just sharing my experience that yes, it’s used in the professional world.

          It’s just so weird to me. I’ve worked at a few big companies and Matlab was just kind of out of the question at any of them. It was Excel or Python
