That is quite true. Most people just need a word processor that can let them edit some fonts and they're set. Also, it can be argued that Keynote is superior to Powerpoint

Yep, I'd agree with that. I do think Keynote creates better presentations, the only place where PowerPoint wins is in actual presentation control and timing options, but most users never even need to tinker with that stuff.

I still prefer Word and Excel over Pages and Numbers, but that's more of a UI comfortability thing for me rather than needing functionality that one has over the other.

The biggest thing missing for me in Pages is that it doesn't have a built-in citation manager like Word does which is invaluable to me since I write a lot of research papers for class. I know it integrates with some 3rd party citation programs, but those aren't cheap.
