FWIW I use both Maxima (usually via WxMaxima) and Scilab fairly heavily.
I use them separately and have never felt a need to have them merged.
Generally my symbolic and my numerical calculations happen at
significantly different times in my workflow, so why try to bolt them
together?

I don't know if this applies to you, of course.
