I don't see why. It's a keystroke programmable. the programs are pretty much the same as the keystrokes you'd hit to solve the problem manually. Add some LBLs and GOTOs for looping and add a R/S for any place you'd like to enter a variable at run time. That's about it for a basic (not BASIC) program. Of course there are many other features but those are used if you want to make the program fancy. You already know how to calculate manually using RPN so writing a program in it should be a piece of cake (easy as pie)

It is not a matter of how to write a program or RPN vs RPL (i also use a 35s, sometimes).
It's more a matter of being used to the unmatched flexibility of RPL object oriented approach.
I use my 48gx and 50g for everyday calculation and to write programs and utilities related to my job.
Disclaimer: All the below is totally IMHO
The solver(s) are parsec beyond HP42s/DM42
The object oriented model allows user to handle nearly any object in a coherent way
The availability of data type like list let to me write very complex programs quite easily.
Not to mention the outstanding uom handling and the capability to organize memory using directories
... And more....

That's why i feel the DM42 and even the future WP43 (whatever will be its final name) too limited to replace the 48/50 on my desk and too expensive to replace my 35s, which I use lesser and lesser.
