I've not used mathematica in a long time, and I forgot how crazy-ugly the graphs are. The cartoonish legend in the Out[18] graph is a case in point, almost a lesson in what not to do, in terms of distracting from the content.

The syntax ain't pretty either, but one does get used to that, of course.

PS. opminion is right: the unit weaving is pretty strange. But the content of the posting is interesting enough to make me think "oh well, it's just another yank" and keep reading.

The default color palettes and line rendering is much nicer in Mathematica than MATLAB. However, tweaking the default styles is a huge pain and the labels really are bad.
