Thanks for the article. As an update, here's something new in Maple
14:

Maple has some really cool things in it. The above is an example.

But Maplesoft ruined the user interface around version 9 or so, and now
I hate using Maple for this reason.

When using Maple interface, I feel like I am using microsoft word 95 on
window 98.

Too bad, many nice mathematics are hidden inside Maple, but the gateway
one must use is so ugly it makes one turn away.

Yes. But there is still the Classical interface (though
its 'support' is frozen), which is what you had before.

Yes, but since the classical is frozen, this means, it can be yanked out
any time. May be by next version?

Which means the time investment I make to learn Maple will be wasted,
since I will be forced to use the Java interface to use Maple, which I
dislike so much and do not want to use.

Only other option left would be to use the command line interface with
Maple. Not too exciting options for me.

I buy Maple each year, I have all versions from version 8 to Maple 14,
hoping the new interface will be more usable.

I gave up on Maplesoft.
