I never finish anything, really, except my dinner. 
I just uploaded some small changes. It now includes a tangent line plot, and other fiddly display bits. It's also pointing out some issues with my Fix_Float$ function, which I've used elsewhere, so not only is it helping me conceptualize trig identities, but it's finding potential bugs in other programs. A nice twofer there...
I think a lot of folks resist trig because of the amount of memorization that's required. I know it's the case with me. I only discovered the SOH CAH TOA mnemonic a few years back. It certainly wasn't taught to me in school. Prior to that, anytime I needed to use trig it was off to find a math book or my machinist notes. It was only a few days ago that I found that with the reciprocal identities, only one of each pair starts with "CO..." So now I no longer need confuse which is secant and cosecant.
