Nigel Warren Writes: "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." http://rarebitstudio.com/blog/2013/10/whither-iwork http://rarebitstudio.com/blog/2013/10/whither-iwork Meaning that Apple had to reduce features to the minimum available on all three platforms and could not support additional features outside of this scope. However, for some of the removed features, this clearly doesn't make sense: - Keyboard Shortcuts for text styles. What's the issue with storing shortcuts in the file format that only work on the Mac Version. It's not like they have any influence on the 'looks' of the file - Selecting non-contiguous text - Outline View - Customizable Toolbar - Reorganize pages by dragging - Select all instances of style All these features have no influence of the actual display of the file in question, but only allow for faster editing within the app. Offering any of these features on the Mac version would not influence the usability or display of the data in the iOS or web version. The only actual reason I can think of to omit these features is that they simply had no more time to work on it and had to release in the current state.
