Why Matlab is preferred over other model based development tools?

Why Matlab is preferred over other model based development tools?

I am not sure of the reason why matlab has an edge over other model based tools like SCADE, Labview, Statemate etc.

What are your references that show that it does?

[Sandhiya Kumar]

I don't have specific documented reference to it but most of them are migrating their model based environment to MATLAB. Hence, wanted to know what might be the reason.

You ask in a Matlab forum about the benefits of Matlab. Of course the answers will be biased, because most Matlab users use Matlab. The question itself is biased also, when you start with Matlab beeing preferred and the statement, that "matlab has an edge over other model based tools". This sounds like a cheap advertisment and in a LabView forum this would look like spam.

I prefer Matlab because of the exhaustive and clear documentation and the excellent support from the community and the staff. For my professional work I need a stable system and compatibility between different platforms.
