I'd like to ask, being new to python, in which ways is this array object far superior
to Matlab's?  (I'm not being sarcastic, I really would like to know!)

I've heard similar things about matplotlib, about how it surpasses Matlab's graphics.
  I haven't personally experienced this, but I'd like to know in which ways it is.
