I think it was dropped in 5.4, on the pretext that it used lzw (GIF-like)
compression for its saved projects or whatever they were called. I don't think
Insight ever matured to something truly useful. The LIVE_PLOT tools are still
around, though, and seem to be at least somewhat useful. With some improvements,
they could be *very* useful, I guess. (Just imagine: you don't like the position
of the axis, you want it on top. Instead of figuring out the bitwise settings of
the xstyle keyword, you just drag and drop...)
