Indeed. It also is fairly hard (to me at least) to enter a long (longer than 2 operands) sequence into a classic calculator without making a typo. Whenever I need even to just add 4 numbers I don't use a calculator to enter 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 nor a spreadsheet to enter the data in separate cells, select them and see the sum (I used this way until recently) - I open IdeOne.com, choose Common Lisp and enter (+ 1 2 3 4). Needless to day I don't only use it for formulae this simple, it is of great help in complex cases.
