No, you're not. It's tiresome, especially when people comment who obviously never had to solve hard integrals or pde's to even come up with a model which can then be implemented in an algorithm. I'm absolutely stunned how short-sighted many of the commenters are. I use Mathematica daily and, still, I appreciate Julia, Python, R.
All this talk about data-scientists only using open-source is ridiculous. At my university, departments like medicine, biology, chemistry, and life-science make a huge part. The most commonly used programs there are Excel and SPSS. Other departments use Matlab extensively. In finance, SAP is a big player. All of them are closed source and cost money.
Why can't people just appreciate that it is a huge step for Wolfram to release a free version of its kernel and think that this is an opportunity?
