Is Pages 5 a sign of Apple's rotting?

Pages? Eh. They've had much bigger failures in the software department.

Anyone remember iMovie '11 update (if memory serves me correctly) this was horrific regression and Apple allowed users to redownload and install iMovie '09.

Final Cut Pro X easily is Apple's biggest fiasco, and that dates back now nearly 3 years ago. Considering the two Comedy Central TV shows I've done contract work with went from Final Cut Pro 7 to Avid I'd argue was more tall-tell sign of Apple sluffing off professional users in favor of consumer/prosumer.

Other failures that come to mind are me.com, Final Cut Express and Shake in recentish history, all which rank higher than Pages. I like Pages

No .. the sign that they are rotting is them banning bitcoin apps. So I can have a bank app but not a bitcoin app on my phone.
