I think many more would be on to Pages if they realized it was more than a simple WP. It's especially great for personal use, where there's no non-Mac sharing needed — there's no simpler layout program out there, & the typographic options are nice to have. If I have something longer/more detailed to put together, that's what ()LaTeX, Inkscape, etc., is for. We need alternate app ecosystems out there, & it's nice that Apple hasn't left these apps to rot like they did back in the 2010s.
It's OK but way too limited for proper layouts and doesn't have enough features for long/complex documents like books.
As it is, it's barely better than GDocs but less convenient, and since people rarely need to print stuff, layout isn't that important.
What do you recommend for long/complex documents like books?
