Well.... I would estimate that the fraction of RPN calculators among the total worldwide pool of calculators is about the same than the followers of the flat-earth-theory among cosmologists ;-) So yes, personal opinion to some degree, but history has cast a clear vote in that respect. And the day when HP stops making calculators (which all of us will see come I'm afraid) RPN will be over for good, apart from us die-hards.

Personally I am bilingual in that respect but see RPN a bit like Latin which I had to study at school. A very logical language and the basis for many modern languages, but otherwise pretty much defunct.
