My god.

What a shambles.

It seems relatively compatible with MS Office for Windows (excluding the omission of VBA) but the user interface looks like the freakish offspring of Office 2007 and Pages.

It wants to be Office 2007 - actually, it looks like somebody made them make it look like Office 2007 about 3/4 through the project and they tried something with no idea of how to do it in OS X (Or maybe, something that just isn’t possible).

Then there is the whole ‘make me compatible’ saving thing - its like they got their bug list back from testing and instead of fixing the problems, they just coded this bizarre save dialog full of cautionary warnings.

I think Pages has a better UI - but sadly I need the MS Office compatibility - Pages just doesn’t cut it.
