It is a better language indeed. Too bad that their IDE options are not par with it. Julia REPL is just that — a REPL. Julia IDEs are just editors for writing code. MATLAB integrated environment, where you can see all variables immediately, is what makes it popular; why not imitate it?

This is what held me back for a long while too, but Juno (the Atom plug-in) seems to finally have all the features I was missing in Julia compared to the Matlab IDE, including a decent variable inspector.

For what it's worth, the Spyder IDE for python imitates many features of MATLAB and I don't find myself missing much. The data viewer in particular is great.

I haven't used Julia's Juno yet, but have used Python's Spyder and found the combination of editor, REPL, variable inspector, and documentation pane to be great. I can't remember if Spyder can also show charts or if that has to come from the code itself if that makes sense.
