Numbers looks wonderful, but for deep business needs it has a LONG way to go before it is at all comparable. It is great they are adding functionality, but I am curious what market segment they think they are meeting?

We just broke down and bought a Windows based machine because MS Excel is so limited on a Mac that it was forcing our accountant into time wasting inefficiencies and general hair pulling.

I know that you must have assessed LibreOffice Calc at some point.

What were the sticking points that made it unviable?

I have had people in my org who are terrified of running Calc over Excel due to compatibility with other organisations- but I wasn’t aware that it was functionally incomplete as a competitor.
