My two cents, as a very happy NumWorks customer. Out of the box, there are Python scripts for calculating factorials, generating visual representations of Mandelbrot fractals, and finding roots of polynomials. On the NumWorks workshop, there are dozens of user-contributed scripts that perform various interesting functions and calculations. They've built a great open-source community, and the speed of their team in responding to issues and pull requests on Github is impressive. Secondly, as someone who had to use various TI calculators in school, trying to get TI Connect software to work was a huge pain. NumWorks lets you install software patches and transfer scripts directly from Chrome, with a one-time driver installation. Not having to deal with bloated and finnicky calculator connection software has been very enjoyable.
