To reiterate my points against Matlab are NOT easy=bad: Matlab doesn't give transferable skills and it's not open science. 
You said "nothing, at least superficially, seems hard..." You mean: it seems easy, but actually not because no transferable skills?
I thought I explained this repeatedly in the main text. I posit that Matlab does not teach you transferable skills.
And one of the many reasons why [see more in the blog post] is because it's too easy. Python is also easy but without an IDE.
Being easy in of itself is not the core problem. Think of the reasons why it's a problem as reasons why we classify stuff as
birds. We certainly look to see if they can fly, but penguins can't fly and are birds and bats can fly and aren't.
The reason I dislike Matlab for teaching in psychology as a first language is complex and so because over the last week I
failed to express it over a few tweets [cos it's complex] I wrote it up as a blog post. I guess if you disagree with complex
I feel like though there are enough resources on the web that you can teach yourself either without having to do one
I used matlab skills to transition to Python using spyder in few weeks & realised I was coding v. v. badly 


should clarify mainly due to the fact that Python syntax looks a lot prettier (so vain I know
)
