MATLAB certainly is the leader in the field, but Mathematica does finite element, control systems, etc.

Anyway, the point is, when it comes to being "trusted" there are a lot of software companies and products who Google doesn't really compare to.

As any other engineer, I have used MATLAB quite a lot. Unfortunately I am not as familiarized with Mathematica. I thought Mathematica was mostly symbolic computation. I didn't know it did numerical computation (such as FEM) as well. Thanks for the info!
