Nice to hear that.

I like to calculate stuff from time to time, so I use the default OS calculator app a lot.

The Windows one is actually pretty decent, except maybe for the shortcuts - e.g. raising to the power is under "y" for some reason.

Ubuntu/Linux(es) has by far the best one. The shortcuts are obvious and the whole expression is visible at all times.

The one for macOS is surprisingly lacking.

I think that function has been bound to y for decades by now. No reason to change muscle memory, even when rewriting the UI.
