Personally, it's not so much the money (I'm at NIH), it's the
draconian license manager. I had a long run fail once because
somebody else checked out the stats toolbox at an inopportune moment,
for example.
Worse, I routinely use the large Beowulf cluster here (called Biowulf,
ha ha), and there are only 8 matlab licenses for 2000 nodes (and only
5 for stats). Of course, one can throw money at this problem, but
that's totally insane.
Octave, I can run anywhere, anytime.
