Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

If you are doing spreadsheet type stuff than of course excel... well.. excels.
But in case you are just using it as a way to type in arbitrary formulas, you should check out speedcrunch (GPL) for linux mac windows. You can just type in formulas and they stay in scroll back like a terminal. Instead of being constrained by mimicking a physical calculator, these people have actually thought about what would make a calculator functional on a PC. And since it has persistent history (unless you delete it) it does have some benefits of a printing calculator.
