IMHO, NewRPL is the best RPL alternative in active development. It is not 100% compatible but it is close. It is also very fast, with up to 2000 digit precision. I do not know if Claudio has any interest in a general purpose (non-calculator interface) version but I would also be very interested if such a thing was created.

I think that adding another target would dilute even more the limited efforts to keep this project alive. But, if you can code even a little, the size of the screen in pixels can be changed to a larger value in one line of code (more resolution, good for PC use) and simply remove the keyboard image, or hide it making it go outside of the containing window. The keyboard image is of course needed for targets that have touchscreen only like Android so it won't ever be officially removed. Those changes alone would make it work li!e a desktop applicatio. Copy/Paste from the clipboard is already a working feature.
