Having read many recent posts about getting hold of the new version of Workbench, I'm wondering whether I should get it too. (I have a Premier Service subscription, and the download email is currently sitting in my inbox.) The details on the Wolfram website somehow don't communicate what the value of the software would be for me. I am not a "software developer", but I use Mathematica a lot for solving numerical modelling problems and visualising data in my academic research (physics/photonics). Some of the code I write is long and complicated. My knowledge of Mathematica is not deep; I use the bits I know essentially as a programming language. I don't write code for other people to use. Is Workbench likely to make it easier for me to work with Mathematica? Has anyone in a similar situation to me found it valuable, or not? Is it worth my while downloading, installing and learning to use, even if it's free? T.
