Some good ideas...it just doesnt perform
I have kept my finances in an excel spreadsheet for years...many linked cells, database functions, graphs, etc, etc. Excel, being a MS product is increasingly unsupported by Mac OSX (no visual basic in latest version of excel, not supported at all in Lion) so I spent the day converting my spreadsheet into Numbers. There are several great advantages to Numbers..but at the end of the day, the most basic functions (e.g. sort a column) are extremely slow with half a years worth of transactions (~ 800 lines). I am dissappointed. Do not buy if you are looking for a replacement to moderatly advanced excel spreadsheets.
Upgrade definitely worth it
I just upgraded today from Numbers '08, which came on my computer. It's about time! I'm in grad school and I need spreadsheets for many of my assignments. Usually I use Excel, which I have an older version of (Mac 2004). But lately it's been crashing, especially on large documents. I've lost my last 10 minutes of work on huge (600+ lines) spreadsheets in Excel so many times, that I had to start saving after inputting every single line of data. I'm now working on a dissertation, so as soon as I found out about the autosave feature in Lion, I upgraded. So far I've only worked on a few basic spreadsheets of data, but it has been SO much easier! I especially like the ability to categorize rows based on data in a certain column. This is already making formatting for my assignments millions of times faster. Full-screen mode really helps when I have to concentrate on my work, and not get distracted by social networking. And I've already used the autosave/versions functionality to check back on my original data when I couldn't remember if I had changed something correctly on a previous page.
The bottom line is, if I can let my computer remember or fix something for me so that I don't have to fret over it, that's a huge improvment. With the greater number of formulas to choose from and the added ability to hide rows/columns and freeze panes, it now really is a great competitor to Excel. But the price, beautiful layout and ease of user interface make it better for my needs. Thanks to Apple for continuously improving their software by leaps and bounds.
Needs Bug Fixing
Just switched over to Numbers from Excel with the purchase of Lion. I'm a light spreadsheet user and am very happy with the general appearance of the program, but I continuously have to "force quit" because the application freezes. I can't imagine what would happen if I were a power-user.
