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.)
