iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, and Numbers were never any good. They were afterthoughts, always have been.
I've been an Apple user for about 15 years, never used any of Apple's own software besides the OS, Keynote, the Mail app, and I've regularly replaced the latter for long periods.
The notion that Apple's application software was ever on par with their hardware and OS is a myth. Keynote is pretty much the only exception.
For ten years people have been posting this BS about Apple application software going downhill, while in reality it was always mediocre to start with.

Have to take issue with you on Pages, I have always thought it to be far easier to use than Word. Many a time I have started out with a Word doc and after half an hour just scrapped it and used Pages or, more recently, LibreOffice instead.
