That was also my first reaction.
When comparing the learning curve and overall ease of use of scilab with 
other options (matlab, julia, python), I always come to the conclusion 
that the biggest problem with scilab is the use of non-intuitive 
function names.
For example 'horner' for polynom evaluation as compared to 'polyval' is 
far from obvious unless you are already quite versed in polynom theory.
If you couple non-intuitive function names (at least for non-specialist 
and casual users) with a documentation that is far from perfect, this 
scares a lot of possible users.
