There is another side to this; Nigel Warren:
The fact that iWork on the Mac has lost functionality isn’t because Apple is blind to power users. It’s because they’re willing to make a short-term sacrifice in functionality so that they can create a foundation that is equal across the Mac, iOS, and web versions. It will take time to bring these new versions of iWork up to parity with what the Mac used to have. In the meantime all platforms have to live with the lowest common denominator. This is what I think, too. Doesn’t make it any easier to stomach if you relied on features that have gone away though. And let’s see how long “short-term” is. The full article at http://rarebitstudio.com/blog/2013/10/whither-iwork My own experience of the latest version of Pages is more positive. This is because I've both listened to and rad what Apple has had to say about equalising versions with iOS and iCloud. If you haven't noticed already, iWork's 09 isn't deleted by the new installs and it still resides on my system. And the new Pages does have an export to the 09 version. Early days I'd say.
