Another very important point - you just download SAGE, run it and it just works. You download Giac, and it doesn't work. It cost me many hours to even compile it, I had to ask the author of Giac to fix the problems (but he did so quickly), but still, it was like a week, from the first download, to a running version. They gave ease of installation a coefficient 1, but it should be 15 instead. If you cannot run it, it doesn't exist.
