    it is free. It combines the abilities of many open source systems. The user interface is fairly simple and easy to learn.

    Excellent alternative to Maple and Mathematica for the serious user ; may alleviate Matlab needs (except for dedicated toolboxes, which may or may not have a Python/Sage equivalent). Users need to invest some time in learning Python and some basics of undergraduate mathematics. Not much shiny interface gadgets, but a trove of mathematical gems. Excellent tools for the production of reproducible research/actie documents. Definitely recommended if openness is important.

    I liked it because it is powerful! With the right commands, you can do what you would typically do with Maple.
