I disagree. Having used RPN for few years and even writing some programs, I didn't like it at all. It always looked mind wrapping and unnatural to me.

I believe HP Prime is the best option for engineers for now. I own TInspire CX CAS, TI89, few Casios including CG50, but actually use HP Prime all the time. It's far from being perfect, but others are much farther from that.

As for Carly's inconsistencies, it all started well before her days. Since late 80s, HP has started and dropped so many potentially good products. Carly just kept doing that, quite in-line with her predecessors.
