I use Keynote for training presentations where I work. I have had attendees tell me I have “raised the bar” with regard to presentations. I find Keynote much more flexible than PowerPoint, easier to use, with better transitions. I use Pages for all o...

Some standard productivity suite features still missing; patchy Microsoft Office compatibility.
