I'm sorry, I've been out of town for a couple of days and missed a lot
of the GUI vs. CLI discussion, so if I say anything irrelevant and old I
apologize.
My main question is what users mean when they say GUI? It seems to me
like most everything done in either Matlab or Octave is done by command
line. I like the window docking in Matlab - I like to set up Matlab so
that I have a panel featuring my command window, a panel with my editor,
and a panel for plots. That way I don't have to go searching around
looking for any plots after I run a function. But it's not too hard to
set up Octave so that the plot is in a small enough window that it
doesn't cover the command window, and my experience is that the command
window is inactive once you start editing a function (if I'm wrong on
this I'd love to know - when I type 'edit xxxx' then I can't do anything
in my command window until I close out of emacs).
This doesn't seem like a GUI to me, though. Do people just want a print
button on plots? Sure it would be nice but it's not too tough to use
the print command. If I can do it, anyone can. Anyway, my two cents...
