Not much.  Too simplistic and/or restrictive.

I like that the second one allows you to choose your age for social security. So many calculators put social security at the earliest age post retirement that you can.

I usually use this one

Dave Ramsey used to have a great one actually until he added all this stupid BS to it.

I use this one now. Very simple and does what I need.
