I have tried both Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha at times and found neither
of them so compelling that I felt the slightest bit jealous of people who
have licensed access to Wolfram's tools and services.

You mean "... *envious* of people ... "!!! :-)
I once explained the difference between "envious" and "jealous" to my
wife Victoria, by means of the following parable:
Suppose that you were walking down that the street one day, engaged in
conversation with our good friend Jeff Newmiller [1] and you chanced to
look up and catch sight of me, locked in a hot passionate embrace with
[e.g.] Tessa Thompson. *You* (Victoria) would be jealous. Jeff would
be envious.
cheers,
Rolf
[1] Obviously I used the name of a bloke who is actually in my wife's
and my circle of acquaintances when I first inflicted this parable upon
my wife. Also I am "of course" assuming here that Jeff is heterosexual.
