[no subject]



Firstly, galculator supports RPN (reverse polish notation - a stack based
approach on doing computations). Some users simply don't use a calculator not
supporting RPN.

Secondly, galculator pays respect to arithmetic precedence. Doing 1+2*3 you get
7 as the correct result in galculator (like gcalc), but gcalctool gives
you 9 (1+2=3, 3*3=9). In my opinion one can't demand the user to think about
arithmetic precedence and to resolve it with braces. Arithmetic precedence
handling is a first step towards "Typing something in as it's written on paper
should give the correct answer straight off".
