I completely agree. I am a Mac Matlab user who is slowly migrating to
IDL, in part because of IDL's support of single-precision floating point
and in part because of Mathworks' decision to discontinue development of
Matlab for the Mac. The primary reason that I am moving slowly is IDL's
poor support for postscript output. Want postscript output from Matlab?
Set up your figure as you want it, then hit command-s. Want postscript
output from IDL? You can jump through hoops with direct graphics, or give
up all hope with object graphics.
