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.
