Well he's right. Python can't scratch the surface of most MATLAB toolboxes (Octave is a lot closer). And Matlab's general user experience and plotting support is just a million miles better. Both languages are fairly bad so I don't think that would be a factor.

Have you tried the Spyder IDE for Python? For me its user experience and plotting support are very MATLAB like. It was the missing IDE that made it possible to get that MATLAB style workflow but do it with Python (or alternatively, to use Python for scientific tasks without having to always be going through CLI or notebooks, each of which have their issues).

I haven't actually! Maybe with a shot, although I've paid for Matlab now and I really hate Python...
