The feature I really loved was arithmetic in alternate radices, although it came too late to help with octal. When I was writing/debugging assembler and the tools were crummy it was heaven to have a hex calculator because screwing up with hand calculation would send me into the deeper weeds.
For some reason this reminds me of a source level debugger we used in the 80s called CDB (created by one of the compiler vendors). It had a "came from" command. It didn't do anything: it was just a joke. But each new dev that discovered it would spend minutes rolling on the floor laughing. ;-) Pete
