I haven't used any recent versions of Dyalog APL, so I am not an informed voice. That said, the persistent gui - where you )load a workspace and all gui objects present at )save time reappear as active display contexts - sounds like a fun gimmick. That said, a frustration of working with APL has been the ongoing difficulties in sharing code fragments. J's ascii script focus was designed to eliminate that problem. Which is one of the reasons I like sticking with J. (J engine source code availability, the J dictionary and books, and the wiki are other reasons.) But, of course, Every language is going to have shortcomings, and I can't speak for you about which issues you'll tolerate, which things you'll like and which things you'll avoid.
