It's incredible and I love it.
I will 100% use this. However, you can take my HP 48GX when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. :-)
> On a pocket calculator, you have one keyboard layout, and you simply ignore the keys you don't use. Has this ever been a problem? Yes. There's a reason they sell basic stand-alone calculators, too, and it's not just price. There's a reason the ones for various tasks don't all look the same or have the same keys (a typical office desktop calculator is usually very basic, for instance). I'd bet money most calculators…
We will somewhat disagree, partly because I can't help using calculators as a scientist, so my opinion is particularly biased. However, I don't like the trend to hide everything that looks technical. On the long run, letting people play with advanced features (that won't break things) is a win-win.

MacOS is really bad abut this sort of thing. It fails on discoverability. For instance, how do you navigate to a hidden folder in the file-selection dialog? There is no option to show hidden, and there is no place to input the exact path. You must know two things to proceed: That there is a secret hotkey to allow exact path specification, and what that hotkey is. It took me years to learn that there was a hotkey -- I…
I always do file operations from the terminal if I can help it (won't save you when you need to select a file in a gui I suppose)
10+ years of owning macs, and Finder still bugs the hell out of me.
I've been using speedcrunch for a couple of years now and it scratches most of the itches for what I want out of a calculator. It looks fairly similar to Chalk's design as well. Very nice interface!
