As a matlab user I really like having everything integrated (editor, console and figures). A lot of my colleagues uses different setups and I feel like they spend half of their day switching between windows and resizing them. I also have a hard time working without the cell feature of the matlab editor (sends blocks of code to the terminal without needing to select anything).
