I did completely replace some years ago Matlab et al for interactive numeric manipulation and rapid prototyping with Python+IPython terminal+NumPy/SciPy and been really happy since :-). You can find an interesting post about it here[1], and although it makes reference to Sage (more a Mathematica like environment), it applies to SciPy et al too. You can get it all installed in windows through Python(x,y)[2], Enthough Python Distribution[3] or in linux precompiled through repositories for most of the distributions. Take a look at those projects websites to find more information about the subject.
