Matlab vs C++

Which one is simple?.
Basically, both could be used to design the human tracking system. MATLAB sound to be a little bit more familiar than C++ in the field of DSP or detection.
What to be considered before hand?
1) Tools to import the video in Matlab/C++
2) Simplicity of the implementation.
3) Real Time processing, where the detection is on the real time video streaming.
4) to be added :)

The correct software need to be choosen as it will give the best effect and performance of the processing. There is no right or wrong with the chosen software, its only about which one is the most user friendly as well as provide best performance of all.
