Comment (by novoselt):

 I think part of the problem is with putting potentially difficult things
 into magic methods, which to some extent is fixed for matrices. Rather
 than having `_latex_` and `_repr_` produce code for accurate
 representations, they should call some other method for doing it in simple
 cases and otherwise return a sensible summary about size/structure. Those
 who really want to typeset big objects can call those non-magic methods
 directly.

 As for extra commands for researches vs. extra commands for students (and
 teachers who deal with these students!), I'd say that students are at
 least as big a target for Sage and the choice is not at all clear. Except
 that it tends to be way easier to teach extra commands to researches...
