No, that is not the case, at least for me. This is one of the reasons
why I use the EPS toolkit most of the time.
What I am trying to explain is why people would like to have gnuplot
commands generated by Octave to edit.
The general issue is: I want to use simple plot commands for day-to-day
work and for prototyping, and the Matlab-compatible ones used by Octave
are prefect for this. They can additionally be used to make
semi-professional quality graphs, and that's good. But for getting
professional quality they are not enough. So, once one finds himself
with a working Octave script that plots well, but not well enough, being
able to dump the graphics command and edit by hand is a winning
situation, as of today.
If tomorrow Octave will use a different backend, the situation may be
the same or completely different, I can't say.
