Who uses iWorks?

[oldmacs]

I much prefer iWork over Office. Pages is lacking in some word functionality but more pleasant to use. I personally think Keynote is better than PowerPoint in almost every way.

I switched to iWork in 2012 fully - when I bought my current MacBook Pro, I had no spare Office 11 licenses, and ended up buying iWork cheaply to tide me over, but I never went back I'd already switched to keynote in 2010.

Used to sometimes.
Gave up when they IOSified the thing. Now it's just gimpy.
I've got 2009 version for opening old docs, but have switched to Libre Office and BBEdit for most everything else.
Oh, and Yojimbo for persistent note type stuff. Yojimbo does not make me feel like a Samuri, but it's pretty good at keeping all those hundreds of little factoids you need, plus recipes etc. in a neat easily searchable, sqlite based, pile. I've kludged it via AppleScript to maintain 2 databases. One for programming, the other for everything else.

Iwork is by far a better suite to use by many (if not most) aspects: ease of use, consistency, functionality, lightness, elegance and reliability. Keynote is the best programme of the category, while pages and numbers have such capabilities that are not given in MS counterpart. Iwork and ArchiCAD are my favourite applications overall. I have used iwork extensively during my studies (theses) and still use it in my professional life as well (projects, reports). Have done lots of presentations with it, too. My only complaint about iwork is that they dropped after a point (i think it was 2012) the inspector window and the choice to stack working windows freely on the desktop.
