I have an HP calculator that uses RPN. I love it.

However, almost no one else I know of can even USE it, nor are they interested in learning how. If I offered the calculator to them, they'd say no thank you, and get a calculator that supports infix instead. Most people will immediately reject something that doesn't support infix today.

It's time to support modern expectations.
