When releasing iWork 2013, Apple ditched all AppleScript bindings[1]. In later updates, the bindings returned[2], but it still caused uncertainty about the future for users with AppleScript workflows.
Something similar happened when they released Final Cut Pro X[3], also fixed in later updates. But again: uncertainty, and many users prematurely switching to alternatives (like Adobe Premiere).

- m_mueller 12y agoYes, the new iWorks (if it can still be called that) is clearly a step back - no new features and a dummed down UI. I don't consider it part of the OS though.
