At least in my experience, it allows easier reuse of previous values. This makes RPN based calculators easier to use for exploratory kinds of work.

On my PC desktop I use an RPN calculator, I find it so much more useful than a standard style calculator. I think it's because you can see the stack and visually validate the numbers you are working on.

I use RPN Calculator v1.3 by Bill Menees, I find the interface a lot cleaner that the others I've tried.
