Re: simplicity vs. efficiency of algorithms in GSL
I mentally gave up on LAPACK as an option a long time ago. The FLAME
library has more potential, it is LGPL'ed and faster than LAPACK, but
it does not have all the functionality [1].
Realistically I see the role of GSL as an alternative to Numerical
Recipes and other similar non-free libraries. None of these have any
super features but they are still widely used. As such, I would see
simplicity, ease of use and good documentation as priorities.
