I do.

There are keyboards without number block. Using the digits
on such a keyboard isn't very effective either, if you've
got your hand on the mouse already. You may have noticed that
you aren't forced to use digit buttons.

All the plans to add endless bloat to this once handy tool
are quite worrying. KCalc is supposed to be a replacement for
a pocket calculator, not for a program like Mathematica.
Even unit conversion is IMHO bloat and doesn't belong
here. (pi and e would be useful, though.)
