I use both... prefer each for different purposes. I like the different take
on a spreadsheet where I can have multiple "floating" tables. For any even
moderately heavy number crunching I prefer Excel.

I use Pages and Word... Pages for shorter documents and ones where I am
working with images more. Word for longer APA style papers and the like.

And I never use PowerPoint anymore. Use Keynote quite a bit. In my view it
is FAR better than PowerPoint.

If I had to pick just one I would go with those. Would not want to give up
Keynote though.

Makes sense.

Try it some day in LibreOffice if you want to drive yourself insane.

Hmmm, maybe that is what happened to me. :)
