Thoughts on iWork?

[lowededwookie]

I like the idea but I'm not a fan of the execution.

It's about time AppleWorks was updated but like I said the execution of iWork kind of sucks.

Compared to AppleWorks iWork doesn't have two important features:

Spreadsheet
Database

Both of which were in AppleWorks but non-existant in iWork.

An Apple made spreadsheet would be nice. It doesn't have to be anything special because I don't use extreme SSs but it would be nice to have a baby Excel.

Pages and Keynotes are really good apps but I don't think this is the AppleWorks replacement that everyone thinks it is.

I don't use word processors or other associated programs much in my job, mostly email, remote control and administration software - I would not be the best for comparing it, plus I don't really have a machine I could use let alone a copy of it. I wouldn't mind getting a quick go at it anyway. [shrugs]
