I will agree that the current interface is not perfect, but for me, it
is good enough.

If you would like for it to be better, then implement an interface to
gnuplot that works better than the current one, and submit the
changes, or distribute them yourself, separately from Octave.

(Haven't I said this enough times by now?)
