Does anyone know if Apple is planning to update the iWork apps for Liquid Glass? It seems strange that Apple hasn't given these apps a facelift to the new UI.
Got a tip for us?

iWork apps and Liquid Glass

I don't know for sure, but certainly expect these apps to be updated for Liquid Glass in the near future. A number of third-party apps (Day One, for example) have been updated recently and now support the Liquid Glass design changes. I think the group responsible for iWorks is separate from the OS group, so they are not always in sync, sort of like the Office people and the Windows people are not in sync; in fact, the Office apps don't even follow Microsoft's own UI guidelines. Used to drive me crazy, but I've switched 100% to Apple so I don't have to deal with Microsoft's nonsense any more.
I'm sure they'll get around to ruining the UI later, but for now I would consider this a feature, not a bug.
I, for one, am hoping we do not have to suffer a "glass" sidebar that becomes illegible when working on a document with a lot of graphic elements.
I do as well. I know a lot of people hate it, but I love it. It's nice enough on my iPhone and iPad, but where I'm really enjoying it is on my iMac. The new Liquid Glass look, the changes to the typography, the extra spacing in menus, the new look of folders in Finder, everything seems refreshed and more modern to me. It's a joy to use every day.
