I haven't used it yet but from reading about it a little bit it just sounds like openOffice for OS X with some cool cosmetic features. iWork is probably excellent for the average graphic designer, or photographer who needs to write up estimates and proposals, but I don't think it's powerful and compatible enough for the real world yet. I think they're betting on the price difference between Microsoft Office for Mac and iWork to give them a slice of market share. Microsoft Office for Mac is $400 and iWork is $80. That $320 difference screams lack of features and quality if you ask me. I'll be trying the 30 day iWork trial at some point though. Then I'll write up a review! iWork looks really cool.

Very snazzy. Actually, Apple had a huge ad on their homepage for iWork 09 when it was released.
