- gumby 10y agoI tried to go iWork only for a while and numbers barely made it for me. It had too small a level of functionality and in exchange was more complicated than it needed to be to get a small amount out. I found Soulver (a re-imagining of the calculator interface) was both simpler and more powerful for straightforward calculations -- by the time it tops out, Numbers has probably topped out. But the home point is a good one: Numbers was great for making up a weekly chores sheet for the kid, easily decorated with fun photos and such. Still: does that justify Apple's investment?
- landr0id 10y agoI tried to use Numbers for some biology work when I was in school and found it frustratingly difficult to use. I'd type something in to a cell, it'd autocomplete, I'd cancel the autocompletion, but it still did not give me full control over the cell. There were other things that were frustrating and just flat out didn't make sense, like the way it would fill data automatically.
