Ask HN: Should there be new RPN calculators to replace the TI-84?

I took an exam today where only TI calculators were available. I felt I was caught between some older models where the TI interface was not quite worked out.

And I don't see much progress then trying my daughter's TI-84.

There are RPN input programs for the TI graphing calculators.

There are RPN calculator apps for phones (I like RealCalc on Android).

There are RPN calculator programs for computers (I like Qalculate for GUI, Orpie for a terminal).

There are emulators for the old HP RPN calculators.

Physical calculators are pretty much only useful for situations where internet access isn't allowed, like some exams in school.
