Why does TMW hide things like HG2 for years!?!? Give us a modern UI toolkit (it is already mostly there under the surface, see undocumented matlab), and build a UI editor that doesn't suck. It falls over when dealing with anything more than simplistic UIs (try multiple selecting groups of components and arrow-key positioning them or try changing tab order, and watch Matlab brought to its knees). The UI toolkit is already very limited in Matlab, but then Matlab wraps that in a really dated, slow UI editor.

Guide is a bug ridden, slow and hugely limited mess.

Where is the modern graphics support, something like a native PDF or SVG engine, per item opacity and full anti-aliasing without compromises? Pixellated klunky graphing is embarrassing for a suite for which visualisation is a core component. opacity support in OpenGL causes vector export to fail!!!). We have a hodge-podge of 3 different renderers each with a set of drawbacks (i.e.

Graphics are still rendered without anti-aliasing and robust alpha opacity support with the default renderer.

Matlab has a number of core features used daily that are in desperate need of updating: Nevertheless overall this really is a minor change (do people really twiddle with the UI for most of the time in Matlab, are they really saving substantial time clicking through ribbon tabs than a menu?). As an OS X user, the ribbon adds nothing of value. I'm sure the UI refactoring is useful to some people, but the ribbon is a conceptual reassignment of function locations, which at best offers greater discoverability for new users, and at worst a disorienting experience for those used to a menu paradigm (in which case, keyboard shortcuts are your friend).
