I like KCalc.
by Dan Ostrowski on Monday 27/Sep/2004, @16:22

I don't really understand the problem. The screenshot he shows looks nothing like my default kcalc in kde 3.3

My KCalc (defaults) has 33 buttons total. The screenshot he shows has twice that. Plus, if you are not able to use a Keyboard (think accessability people!) then you probably WANT to use your mouse... and if you want to use the keyboard, certainly buttons don't get in your way. They don't get in mine.

If you don't like KCalc, do what other's do, use Python or Alt+F2. There's no reason to tank KCalc... it's a very familiar and useful application.

Obviously you haven´t tried all 33 buttons yet ;-)

If you can´t use the keyboard, you already should be using a on-screen keyboard. Why should kcalc bring its own beer to the party?

KCalc takes TOO LONG to load. It's a CALCULATOR for crying out loud, and it takes almost 2 seconds to load AFTER it's already been loaded once! On my Athlon XP-M 2800+ w/ 512 meg RAM! Seriously, that thing is a pig and when I want to do a calculation, I want it to pop up immediately, not make me hold on til it's ready.

loads in less than a second here, athlon 64 3000+ (gentoo, so its compiled 64 bit, but still for an application of this size i dont think it makes too much of a difference)
