A few things have changed (I use them daily for 6 years):

1) I has more bugs (for instance, drag and dropping an image from a browser makes it crash).

2) The format has changed, it's now incompatible with computers running last year OS, Mavericks.

3) It automatically uploads new document or documents you open in the cloud.

4) I have lost my iCloud contents twice (each time when syncing from an iPad under poor network conditions, but that case should be handled).

They also removed a bunch of Pages features used by Powerusers. It used to be a reasonable substitute for Word.

I'm still on Pages 09 because I had a bunch of manuscripts made in that program. They don't format well in Pages 13. I'm going to keep using Pages 09 until Apple forces its obsolesence.

Probably will look at Word instead since they seem committed to stability and the ability to actually do real work on a computer.

Not sure what your feature set requirements are, but LibreOffice is a pretty good replacement for Word.
