Re: Does Matlab need better GUI controls?

With having experience programming in VB, VB.NET, and ASP.NET i've been disappointed in Matlab's GUI controls. Don't get me wrong Matlab is great for mathematical programming, but when you want to build a mathematical/scientific GUI it just seems to be behind others on the control styling.

I'm in vista...I don't want a windows 98 looking GUI. Plus it wouldn't hurt to add some more types of controls and pull the uitab out of the "undocumented" section.

I'm curious to hear others comment.

"Windows 98 looking GUI" fits me. It helps me ignore visual appearance.

However, I miss a number of controls that were taken for granted at the time of Windows 98. How come it take years from the first appearance of new controls until they become mature enough to be documented (e.g. uitable, uitab, uitree)?
