scilab vs octave

hello,

what are the advantages/disadvantages of octave/scilab with respect to eachother and versus matlab?
user friendlyness?
does anyone have experience using octave/scilab in numerical integration? I know the octave integration routines are more accurate than the ones in matlab. how about extraction of singular points in numerical integration?
is scilab/octave suitable to program numerical/analytical electromagetics code in an comfortable way?

thanks.
best regards
 

octave vs scilab

I use matlab at work. It is fairly expensive with all toolboxes. I have looked at Octave and seem a worthy freee replacemement. Not much experience with Scilab - except that Scilab installs easier in Windows [Octave requires cygwin!]
