This question is fatuous given the deep knowledge of its author regarding
emacs and its computing niche.

Emacs knows it cannot hold a candle to specialized editors like Matlab and
Rstudio on features and out-of-the-box accessbility.  Its selling point has
always been UNIX-y interop (cutting and pasting say to a LaTeX doc) for
command line people.

I used matlab-mode right until spring 2015 when Mathworks reformatted their
prompt codes, thereby crippling debug mode.
