I don't know how much things have changed in ten years but when I was in university I simply couldn't find a computer calculator software that had the same easy to use UI as my HP 40gs or even a basic Casio fx-991ES. Sure I could fire up Matlab with the Symbolic toolbox or even Derive under wine but nothing came close to just typing in what I wanted and pressing a button. I guess it's more a matter of dedicated physical buttons and muscle memory.

For any "calculations" I definitely prefer a real calculator. The keyboard and screen layout and the fact most of functions have dedicated buttons are simply superior compared to software. For rediculous things like running/writing Python on calculator here, I would like to use a real computer though.
