Using dc on a regular base whenever a small calculation is required - it's just so much more convenient compared to starting up a graphic ^H^H^H GUI calculator when you're in a shell+keyboard flow. And eqn is also much, much easier to use for basic high school math and casual use than all-mighty TeX. Used to document entire app suites using troff/eqn/tbl/pic in the 90s, order receipts and bills even, as well as preparing moderately math-heavy course material.

- mprovost 5y agoI pretty much always have an open terminal window running dc for doing quick calculations throughout the day. And I do my taxes every year in dc!
