"Apple's iWork '08 boasts improvements to the software suite's word processing and presentation applications, but - more importantly - it fills the suite's spreadsheet hole with Numbers. eWEEK Labs ran Numbers through its paces, and found it to be a strong addition to the productivity software market and a promising alternative to Microsoft Excel."

"There is a huge market for a spreadsheet app like Numbers, I believe.
I know a business where they have to do some graphically intensive comparison tables and they just do those in Photoshop because Excel is too tabular and lacks that freedom of moving stuff around. There are many other folks who want to find a way to manage their tables in a meaningful way. I, for one, am impressed."

Of course Excel is tabular. What else would you expect from a spreadsheet?
As for freedom of moving stuff about - Excel is one of the most flexible spreadsheet packages i've used. I suggest that if your business is now using photoshop for their tables then perhaps what they really wanted was a desktop publishing package rather than a spreadsheet.
