Here are some features added to IDL since v2.1 that I particularly like:

---integrated support for HDF, CDF, and netCDF.
---on-line help in a separate window
---IOCTL to access low-level file operations
---logarithm Z axis for surface plots
---anonymous structures
---create_struct (v3.1)
---reads: like readf only from an IDL variable instead of from a file
---device independent screen preview in EPSI format to see IDL plot in desktop publishing progams
---integrated TIFF and GIF support
---format capability for tick labels on plots

Are there PV~WAVE equivalents?
