FreeMat is an excellent development environment for engineering data management. It provides many of the same features as MATLAB or IDL, such as the ability to open existing M files or create new ones, cut, copy, paste, find and replace items from any document, and set or clear breakpoints. The user interface is intuitive and easy to use, making it a great choice for those looking for a powerful yet user-friendly development environment.
