First, like Simon said: "But I wouldn't be so mean to prevent other people from using it." But I have trouble getting too excited about this new syntax. What we have works well for me and for my students.
Second, I agree strongly when William said: "I'm more for *consistency* between the matrix command the matrix notation...." Third, Marshall said: "This makes it easier to win over people used to Matlab." Jason did a nice job of implementing matrices over RDF/ CDF so that SciPy/NumPy routines are trivial to wrap. (Doctesting them is another story.) I did a lot of this last spring when I had the time, with a lot of help from Martin Raum and others. Continuing to build out a full suite of numerical routines for RDF/CDF matrices would go even further toward being a viable alternative to Matlab.
