iWork 2013 sucks, big time

[blue-fireball]

Sorry to post a question in a thread that seems mostly to be a debate/argument between sides (fine with me, however; the title indicated such) but I see some people post that iWork is free...however, when I go to the Mac App Store they don't say free. Were they free for only a period or only for certain users?

On the "Top Charts" section they are listed as some of the top apps under the Free section but they all say $19.99. That's confusing in and of itself...

They are only free if you buy a new Mac.

OK, got it. That explains it (mine was pre-owned). Thanks.

I used the new Pages last night to create a flyer.

It was awesome, loved it.

Good job, Apple.

New users will love iWork 13.

It's all about them now. Apple are simply following microsoft's lead.

Anyone who already knows how to do stuff can expect that to take longer.
