If you go back far enough, you could say all English speaking countries are talking in a super bastardized combination of Frisian and French.

I wonder which country has more Apple users and more computer users. Brasil has about 20 times the population of Portugal.
The point is, that someone said:
and that, according to you, it isn't:

While in fact there is no argument to support your point of view. Bringing up fun facts about the origin of languages and dialects doesn't change anything about it.
The fact that there are much more people who speak 'American English' doesn't automatically make it the origin of modern English. But apparently even such a small thing can be so hard to admit that you'd rather dismiss it as 'cultural conceit'.
The numbers of people who speak any given dialect of English did not enter into my argument in the least, and neither did I advance a theory that even remotely suggested that American English is the "origin of Modern English." This might have been the reason why I failed to mention either of these two concepts, which you have so pleasantly decided bestow upon me.
Apple losing its reputation for the best, customer loyalties disappearing
This topic is primarily about iWork.
It's reported that Apple wishes to produce the best, so it's not unreasonable to complain when things fall far short of the best.
The largest part of the answer comes from Apple whenever it promotes things such as handoff. An array of very different devices with the same content, and similar interfaces, on each device.
Continuity-related features such as handoff should be welcomed by the broadest possible range of customers. Instead, the hidden cost of multi-platform support (within the 'ecosystem') degradation of software causes alienation of customers. This is an unfortunate introduction to continuity.
A hidden cost of an Apple ecosystem that connects devices: disconnected customers
Would that something else be better, maybe "the best"? We can shout it: "THE BEST".
What happened to Apple producing the best?
If reading about iWork in a topic about iWork makes you so angry, there's the option to unsubscribe.
It's extremely unlikely that a contributor from within Apple would make known his or her association with the company.

and not only iWork. If votes in MacRumors are even vaguely indicative of feelings amongst the general population, then what Apple did to OS X (lack of forethought; insufficient care) causes customers to detract from no longer recommend the software.
Not just compatibility. Generally, I no longer trust Apple to do the right things.
Glassed Silver looks at iWork.
I looked at Yosemite. Whenever I tested it, the evidence of incompetence was quite staggering. Not pervasive, nonetheless staggering. A shame, because the many things that might have been enjoyed were marred by the few that were quite senseless.
There it is again: loyalty. I imagine that Apple privately measures such things, but I'd like to see something more public; an honest reaction from Apple might help to get things back on track.
The lack of public reaction from Apple is easily construed as the company hoping that things will blow over, will go unnoticed
Not me (sorry).
