On your first: as you say I think an example or two of your problems is
needed.
On your second: this is a long and often-expressed wish, at users'
meetings and on this list. My own minimum list includes support for
subscripts, superscripts and Greek characters.

With regard to graphics, I was thinking principally of some of the
idiosyncracies of --graph combine--. The interactions among the
various areas, labels, etc. are sometimes hard to predict--
particularly with regard to lining up elements across constituent
graphs. My recollection was that this is more predictable in MATLAB. I
wish I had an example at hand of a graph that was easier to produce in
Stata than MATLAB to illustrate my meaning. The fault may well lie
with me rather than with Stata.
Another minor advantage that MATLAB graphics have over Stata's is that
MATLAB supports a limited subset of TeX in text elements of graphics.
Last I checked, this is not the case for Stata. I suspect that a
workaround for PostScript graphics may be the LaTeX psfrag package.
