I'm quite happy on 500+ page word documents here, tracked across 30 users on SharePoint. I was not happy with Pages a couple of years ago - it did a shitty job of import/export losing styles and even text sometimes.

Don't like Ribbons? Double click one of the groups and they go away http://officeblogs.net/UI/sizepics/RibbonCollapsed.png

And I don't know how you can complain about that when Pages is full of horrible trays...

Got to be said I like the ribbon, going back to LibreOffice on the home Linux box is like heading back to the last century.

That's because Libreoffice is basically a clone of Word.

Pages isn't "full of" trays. You can use them or not, and by default not.
