I'd use every one of the buttons on that calculator. Admittedly I've never had need for gradians, but they're on the same button as degrees and radians, so it would still get pushed. For everyday use I use Qalculate!, and for more complicated calculations Maxima or LibreOffice Calc, all of which are far more advanced than a Sharp EL-501X. Dumbing down products makes them worse.
- daxterspeed 7y agoI think the scientific calculator could be an example of this principle on its own. It's often far more useful for a mathematician than struggling with the calculator app on a phone or booting up a clunky laptop. Ultimately I think the principle is flawed. The amount of features isn't an issue but rather whether each and every feature works well and adds to the value of the product. Eg. a scientific calculator would be an awful fit for a todo list application.
