I'm tired of all the gripes...

Yes, good points.

I wonder if some of the backlash is more a general HP thing, e.g. based on a complaint that HP are no longer producing a high-end RPN/RPL-based engineers' calculator (other than the 35s, which might not qualify), and so the Prime takes the flak as being their flagship calculator.

I have the Prime, and I like it (and for some purposes, e.g graphing & stats confidence testing, I even find it best), but I do wish an updated 48/50 were also available, as a current product. But I doubt the market would support it.
