I recently used gnuplot for the first time (for doing quick & dirty scatter graphs—the program also outputs detailed information which gets fed into Mathematica, but that's not my concern). It's not so much cryptic as … retro. There's just something about that reminds me of working with mainframes and time-sharing systems.
