I'm kind of puzzled about MathWorks's decision only to develop an X
version of MATLAB for the NeXT.  MATLAB Version 4 only produces PostScript 
hardcopy (no meta or gpp anymore), so I suspect that their underlying 
graphics commands are very PostScript-like in nature.  I suppose the 
problem is that they've also added some GUI stuff and that would be much 
more difficult to port.  Personally, I would gladly give up the GUI stuff 
for a NeXTStep version of MATLAB that just displays the graphics.
(The GUI stuff is nice, but I suspect that the overwhelming majority
of MATLAB user's have never used anything other than terminal
interface.)
