as soon as we get (if possible) tacticle feedback for the touchscreen surfaces then the calculator will be a thing of the past.

So far it is better because - in my opinion - it provides a much more comfortable input interface.

Aside from the 4 functions using a calculator on a phone is a pain with too many missclicks . When the display is at least 8'' then things gets better, but that is roomy, it is not anymore something handheld.

Any I think a lot of engineers, scientists, technicians ditch their calculators when actually then don't do their math themselves but they use ready made forms to fill and run, without much thinking. And there are plenty of those people around.
