AppleWorks doesn't play all that well with MS Word, and its spreadsheet 
tool is much weaker than that for MS Excel. I still use AppleWorks for 
documents I write (if I'm not using something more obscure: LaTeX), and 
have a copy of MS Word for the folks that insist on using it (like, the 
rest of the office), so that I can read their stuff. MS Excel is really 
good, though, so I haven't given up on it.

(Of course, I have the advantage of being at UofL, which likes beta 
testing MS products (i.e. using versions before .1), so we get MS Office 
for $8.)
