It's not far behind. The core functions are really Ok. You get lots of toolboxes in octave-forge for free. Many functions that do not belong to the standard Matlab version (extra $1000 only for statistics). The GUI of Matlab is not very useful, since the way of using Matlab ist mostly command-line oriented. Of course, Octave lacks the possibility of creating own GUI applications. But these are not very well implemented in Matlab anyway (many bugs, no multithread, always blocking, strange communication between GUI functions/blocks). Simulink is missing in Octave, but this is also not included in standard MATLAB (have to pay a some $3000's extra).
If you're looking for something simulink-like, you could try SciLab (www.scilab.org), it has SciCos and Xcos. It would be interesting to introduce USRP into these blocksets. Maybe easy with a function wrapper. SciLab also has a GUI. I like SciLab, but I prefer Octave because of it's better Matlab-compatibility. The GUI is not very important for me.
