One of the best things about Igor Pro is its user mailing list. Absolutely amazing support from the Wavemetrics people as well as other users, not only for Igor-specific things but for domain-specific problems in the technical fields.
I once complained, tongue-in-cheek, that Igor couldn't automatically order pizza. The very next day, a user posted a small program that did exactly that, ordering at a preset time from Papa John's.

The hybrid interface is fantastic, it lets you see exactly what the program is doing, to the extent that you can easily replicate any sequence of operations from the GUI in a procedure - without the unreliable and awkward script-recording found in other programs.
The interface (on both Mac and Windows) is blazing fast, clear and well designed. Graphs are almost publication-quality out of the box, and can be tweaked with extreme precision. It is sufficiently fast to run well on older computers.
I've yet to find anything that Igor cannot do. Get me a coffee maker with a USB socket, and I'll get it to make coffee!
Igor is insanely under priced and undiscovered considering it's capabilities and quality.
The one thing I found necessary was to spend some time building a set of procedures to do some fairly basic stuff that could be done out of the box. The way I work involves manipulating windows full of waves, and I had to write a couple of scripts to manipulate everything in a window at once - I don't think it would be too hard to include this kind of thing in the main distribution. Also, it's worth bearing in mind that if you want to deal with external hardware you'll need Igor's XOP toolkit extension, which I thought to be a little over-priced.

In addition, Igor is the only graphing package I am aware of that allows me to fine-tune the layout of a graph presenting scientific data to journal-quality standards. Unfortunately, because of the prevalence of Excel, a lot of data these days gets presented in aesthetically displeasing laid-out graphs. Igor, however, gives the same control back to the user scientists had back in the day when they would send data to specialized graphic artists, before submitting to a journal.
My rating of five for "Ease of Use" has to be understood in context. This does not mean that the program is easy to use by someone who has never done any data analysis or built a graph from given data. Rather, it represents the logical, makes-sense, connection between the way Igor uses the dialogs of the OS's GUI to build the commands of its programming language. Once one has built those commands, they are easy to tweak on the language level and then re-executed, which saves a lot of time over having to re-specify parameters modified only slightly, via the GUI.
