Got one of the most unhinged emails I've ever received from a dumb person who thinks that because I feel the iWork apps are a bad fit for the "Creator Studio" that I believe writing isn't creative. Yes, indeed, as a professional writer for more than three decades, that must be what I meant. He really got me with that one.

Anyway, people will contort their brains into lots of bad shapes to defend Apple from criticism of its terrible decisions.

@jsnell Id prefer they go in another direction of Making Pages FREE entirely, then go to advanced features in an iWork suite $10 per month. not really the point of your post here, but i think your arguments have been really solid on this
