I mean, yeah, but the bigger argument here is that due to the sheer mass of Jupiter, the centre of mass of our solar system is actually very so slightly outside of the sun

If any of those are your goal, they can be quite effective

For all intents and purposes it was free word

I haven't really used word in over half a decade since TeX beats it in every conceivable way.

Wordpad was useful in the sparse few cases where I was forced to open a .doc or .docx and couldn't be arsed to upload the file to Google docs

I guess it will be missed for that

Honestly, the best online resource I know of are the 3blue1brown videos on complex numbers

Any tool risks confusing you more, since multiplying in the complex plane can act quite unexpectedly when you move outside the real line for both parameters

Multiplying with q negative does genuinely correspond to a 180° rotation around the origin in the complex plane (plus a scalar multiplication of course)

Yeah, the ASCII characters are at least trying to pretend that we aren't slowly regressing back to hieroglyphics
