I too was disappointed by the split and commands. One project involves turning 
arrays into lists back into arrays. This is pretty slow manually, and I thought 
that split and combine could do the trick. However, the weird order messed 
things up.

There should be a "listToMatrix" function that does something like this:
mydata=
1,1,1,2,3
1,1,2,3,4

put ListToMatrix(myData,comma,return) into matrx
The result would be a 2x5 matrix where matrx[1,1] would be 1, matrx[2,4] would 
be 3, and so on.

There would also be a MatrixToList which be the reverse. One could also 
transform 3d matrices by something like put ListToMatrix(myData,comma,tab, 
return). Of course you can do all of this manually through scripts but it is 
pretty slow, at least for the size of matrices I'm working with.

Looking through the docs, there isn't much on arrays or matrices. It would be 
nice to have one doc page that is an overview of their capabilities. My docs 
don't work, but I guess that's another story.
