Point #7 about why you don't like Magma may be true. The developer community
might be too small, and there may be no public mailing list.
But to say the same is true of Maple - "(Similar remarks about Maple)", is IMHO
untrue. There are a lot of Maple users. There is the newsgroup
comp.soft-sys.math.maple. Maple questions are often asked (and answered) on
sci.math.symbolic.
http://shell.cas.usf.edu/~wclark/maple_links.html
lists more Maple resources.
For a viable alternative you list:
"All the mathematical features of Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and Matlab with
comparable (or better) speed, including sophisticated symbolic calculus, special
functions, global fields, easy of use and documentation."
Can you make an estimate, based on extrapolating the progress of Sage, when it
would be possible to have this, based on the state of these products in 2010?
(Ignore future developments of these products). Do you think it will be possible
in your lifetime?
PS, One thing you omitted from that list, is being no less reliable than any of
them.
