More than that:  Sometimes Matlab itself crashes, freezes, or otherwise unresponsive  so you simply have to kill the process from the Task Manager. In all these cases you immediately kill the editor with all your unsaved changes. Mostly for these reasons I have nearly always used the standalone one.  

The only workaround I can think of is to use an meditor of your older version. That is what I will do before upgrading to newer versions.
It's really surprising to me, why MathWork removed it. I dont think it would cost them a penny to keep it..

Could anyone from MathWorks answer this, please?
Thanks.

I have an application that uses the "external" C interface; when that crashes (which it does a bunch), I don't want the editor closing, so I want to start it as an independent process (and it is not possible to open the "console" with external C calls and have another Matlab open at the same time, at least I can't).
