You may not care, but I do not like using Microsoft Word on the Mac. It just doesn't work well, looks even worse, and makes me cringe every time I open it. However, I am stuck with Word because Apple won't release development tools for it's word processor, Pages, and I can therefore not use an essential application, EndNote. I've fallen in love with this program that tracks all the papers I need to reference when doing most of the writing I've done in grad school. Going back to doing all my references manually is not an option as my reference list gets longer and thus I am ironically stuck with an inferior word processor in order to avoid an even bigger headache.
But, with your help there is hope. You can tell Apple to release development tools for Pages in order to allow wonderful applications like EndNote to do their magic. It is seriously the only thing that is keeping me from buying the elegant and affordable new iWork programs.
