@mjtsai Seems like not much was gained in this transition from users’ point of view. The old apps worked fine. New ones are crippled.
So those old files that don’t open properly in iWork ’13 may be orphaned if you don’t have the DVD version plus updaters.

@stormchild Yeah, you get new UI (which seems simpler but less efficient) plus prevented from using accidentally non-iOS-compatible features - View other replies

@mjtsai It was easier to see at least the future potential of iMovie 08, FCPX and Logic 7 rewrites. - View other replies

@stormchild Yeah, if anything, the new iWork UI seems less scalable to pro features. -
@mjtsai The demands of pro productivity apps are relatively tame. Lack of AppleScript is depressing, but the other stuff can be addressed.

@mjtsai I still have my dvd. Are updaters still available to download? -
@tofias Yes, the iWork 9.3 stand-alone updater is still available: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563 -
@mjtsai good to know. New MBP jus arrived (squeee!), but sad about iWork short-term issues. Yet bullish on the hole this creates for devs.
