A decent set of software. If you've used Office 2007 for Windows, you'll find that this has a similar set of functionality.
A coule good reasons to buy this:
1. You're forced to work with .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, and other x files. OpenOffice doesn't handle them very well.
2. It's required for work or school.
It's not worth the cost unless you need it for one of those reasons. I get annoyed with it because it doesn't feel like a Mac app, doesn't have the standard keyboard shortcuts (Cmd-Shift-S doesn't mean "Save As..."), doesn't resize right. It's just not a real, solid Mac app the way Mail is, the way iCal is, the way 1Password is.
If you need to create basic documents and spreadsheets, check out OpenOffice or Google Docs.
