If the time your organization spends code and debugging costs you any money
at all, IDL provides tools to assist with the development and debugging
process. PV-Wave provides no tools and apparently thinks that Notepad and
the PRINT command is all the development support anybody should ever need.
As a result, our manpower costs are higher than they could be if we were
using IDL. If we were currently doing a lot of development, I'd beg RSI to
take us back.
(Truth is we use MATLAB for most of our current work, because MATLAB is the
most commonly used language in our field. )
