I got a lot of good responses and I was surprised how many teachers mentioned they are ready to phase out calculators completely in favor of using software alternatives like Geogebra and Desmos. Now, my data is in no way scientific or final, but it's still relevant to this topic so I thought I'd share.

I think GeoGebra is good option: open soft and multiplatform (both of them are a requisite for this use IMO, because what you teach must me as independent from hard/SO as it can). Although I don't know if it is the best solution from all open and multiplatform CAS/geometry/etc soft.

I agree with using and teaching on a standard soft you can use on all type of computers, contrary for example to TI/HP models which want to keep you on its systems and where you can't export knowledge about using them to other machines (well, with HP 48 I could use an emulator on all hardware and OS, from Windows to Linux, and from PC to smartphone, but you are emulating it, not using that model on other hard/OS).
