I've used GNUPlot and played around with Maxima... Maxima is pretty cool .. it sort of reminds me of a cmdline/script version of mathcad with a touch of matlab but I never really mastered Maxima. I've not really used either maxima or gnuplot in a while as I've not needed to manipulate any equations or plot anything ... and I have an HP-49gx (and 48gx) that'll do some of those sorts of things as well. I've used PIL to embed generate on demand graphics for analysis when I was on a Tufte graphics kick.
