I understand that you need buttons if you have Touchscreen. In this case you input expression using buttons.
But if you don't have touchscreen then you don't need the buttons. you type the expression using keyboard as text string.
How do you dial by phone today? do you use emulator of radial phone on the screen and rotate the circle to select a digit?
no, you use keyboard to type the phone number.

Hello Eugene
I also have my things, like why you use this or that... but I guess the final choice is on the user.
Some wants to use windows and buttons, some other wants a command line. Let's just endorse the diversity and freedom of choice ! :D

Lars:
If you use commandline, you might as well just use "rexxtry".
Or use Vrexx to present an entryfield that you read and process via REXX.

IIRC I completed some SDL HP48 emulators - these use RPN for working, so maybe they're not for the average user. Can't really remember if I already sent them to Hobbes though - I'm in the final phase of changing from one house to another and it's a NIGHTMARE.
Hope I'll have something new in september (will have to renew my software subscripion).
