Why are the HP Prime and HP-35s so unpopular?

But the checksum bug is unforgivable and effectively nullifies reliably entering programs.

Yes. To me, that's it's Achilles' Heel.
Because of that, I try to use the equation solver instead of programs....even if it's slower....because the checksum works properly for equations.

If I do have to have a program, I'll spent a lot of (unnecessary) time verifying it's proper operation, just because the program checksum function seems to operate more along the lines of a random number generator, lol.
