I agree with your line of reasoning.  However, it seems like 90%
of the Matlab users I encounter say: does Octave have a GUI like
Matlab?

I've shown them a screen shot of Kate, with Octave running in
Kate's build-in lower panel command line, displaying a plot,
etc., and that looks somewhat familiar too them.  But I think a
big sticking point for many Matlab users switching to Octave is a
GUI.

Personally, I run Octave in Konsole, edit m-files with Vim, and
see no need for a GUI.  But for greater adoption, a big fat and
feature-rich Octave GUI would be an asset for the project.
