Then it's understandable, the UI of Calc is very fast but also very,
very abstract.

My hope is that with the Babel interface Calc can get a push.  There is
some potential, although it remains a lot to improve to have a workable
computer algebra system (CAS) in the line of Maxima, Maple, Mathematica
et al. :-|

That is the strength of Org-mode: The combination of code and beautiful
documentation. :-D
