Having run Numbers for a month or two and reverted to Excel, I'm now married to Excel.
I've tried Numbers a few times thinking that, if I could get an Apple spreadsheet equivalent to Excel, I'd change over. But, I've always found Numbers had too many differences to make a changeover easy.
My guess is it's because Excel started off on the Mac and was GIF from the ground up instead of trying to adapt software to be "like" the Mac (Windows comes to mind). I recall using MS Multiplan, the only spreadsheet available for Mac when the machine was first released, and it was 'okay' but Excel (about 1984 or 1985) blew it out of the water. Excel was so good that Microsoft ported it over to 'those other machines' about three years later.
