I don't want to use bandwidth, time, etc. repeating the comments previous
posters have made to this thread (which I mostly agree with).
I just wanted note that I use IDL for almost all of my programing, both
scientific and otherwise.
For example, I have a network monitoring program that polls our network-hub
(via 'spawn'ed telnet) and keep track of network traffic. It may also be
interesting to note that RSI wrote the GUI-builder that is part of 3.6.12
*in* IDL.
