If you're only doing exactly the things that MATLAB or one of its 
toolkits was designed to do, then MATLAB will probably be somewhat more 
convenient. Once you move outside of that box and start doing real 
programming, Python (with Numeric, ipython, matplotlib, scipy, et al.) 
beats MATLAB handily.
