Maple does it better

MATLAB

The basic data unit of MATLAB is matrix. Its instruction expression is very similar to the form commonly used in mathematics and engineering, so using MATLAB to solve problems is much simpler than using C, FORTRAN and other languages to complete the same thing

However, imagine you want to solve an LP model with 10K+ constraints (which is a typical case in practical applications in the last 20+ years).

Then you better have an independent solver (for verification purposes) because matlab solver might mislead you with the optimal solution.

As well if the constraint matrix is sparse and with specific structure then, for example, GAMS could be your choice.

As it is said, every case depends on its own requirements.
