Apple Pages

“The UX of Pages and Keynote are, IMO, far superior to Word/Powerpoint”

“the update nag for Pages and Numbers Applications towards their newer subscription-capable equivalents can't be disabled in the MacOS UI”

“being able to put images anywhere without stuff moving around behind her back”

“allows you to turn off the inline text and use only absolutely positioned non-floating text boxes”

“I much prefer the interface of Pixelmator and Pages to Photoshop and InDesign”

“it's so fast and responsive, it makes any other Office suite behave like an old beat up horse.”

“it's not at the level of even Libreoffice or Apple's page in terms of features”

“they seem just as robust as the Microsoft counterpoints”

“forced upgrade of Numbers/Pages/Keynote with annoying nags that can't be turned off”

“Apple suite (Pages, Numbers etc) works well, has good mobility to mobile, and is free.”

“I've found Pages to be less laggy and more stable than Word in very large documents”

“both Pages and Numbers are pretty powerful in their modern incarnations”

“I liked the way Pages 09 looked - it was beautiful - but the compatibility wasn't there. Modern Pages is hideous.”

“Plus Pages, Numbers and Keynote are free on Macs, minus the new paid features.”

“native & instantly responsive UI, launches in a handful of milliseconds, collaborative”

“I'll take Apple's Office suite (Pages, etc.) over MS Office any day”

“What I wouldn't give to have Pages (and other apps) appear like they did in OS X Lion. This is just depressing.”

“The sidebar for formatting they added is strictly worse than the inspector UI in old Pages ’09.”

“I'd like a version of Pages where I can turn off the toolbar, turn off the title bar, fullscreen the remaining window”

“The buttons without labels, I have no idea what most of them would do and just glancing at them gives me a headache.”

“I wouldn't think twice about having Pages and dozens of Safari tabs open side by side on an iPad.”

“XCode and Pages are a delight in comparison to VSCode”

“Apple Pages/Numbers/etc. to avoid dealing with this”

“compared to e.g. Keynote or even Pages on macOS”

“style sheets are so well integrated in the UI that you barely need to think when you create a new rule”

“All of the pen-only ones are terrible for something called Pages, the middle-to-older page-based ones actually fit the brief.”

“why are we seeing this shift to worse / more ambiguous / less differentiated icons?”

“the pen is lost in the detail of the ink pot, at typical viewing size it's a visually noisy design”

“so abstract that when I first looked at it I had no idea what I was even looking at”

“The icon is horrible and generic and has failed to leave an impression on me over multiple years.”

“Document, pen, orange, and name "Pages" is pretty excellent all round for recognisability”

“way too limited for proper layouts and doesn't have enough features for long/complex documents like books”

“there's no simpler layout program out there, & the typographic options are nice to have”

“I don't have to bother with Word's annoying ribbon interface and Copilot AI when I'm writing”

“Good thing they remain free and pre installed”

“One of the key advantages to Pages.app and friends is that they are pre-installed and free on MacOS.”

“Especially Pages is a pleasure to work with compared with Word.”

“Not available for one time purchase are the AI features and templates available for the free apps (Keynote, Pages, Numbers, Freeform).”

“mostly because they are free and they are good enough”

“I find Apple Pages much more pleasant to work with and by far my favorite word processor”
