Just switched over to numbers from Excel with the purchase of Lion. I'm a light spreadsheet user and am very happy with the general appearance of the program. Unfortunately, this product is super slow and have had to force quit many times.

Even though this app has some good ideas and is pretty simple to use, it just doesn't do it for me. For many years, I've stored my financial information in excel spreadsheets. Tons of database functions, linked cells, graphs, etc. I took some time to convert my spreadsheets into Numbers, and it was extremely slow. The most basic functions took very long to load. Not very satisfied with this product.

I want to like this software. But 100% CPU and spinning beachball just to "add a row above"? Why?

Do I HAVE to go back to Excel?

Another vote here for Tables.

Numbers looks nice but come on: where did my processors go and what happened to my 6 GB of memory. Extremely sloppy wasteful programming (think Microsoft Word).

On the other hand, back to basics Tables uses almost no memory and no processor in background. So you can keep a spreadsheet open all day (if you have lots of spreadsheet type info, basic calculations to do).

Numbers is cheap for a reason. It is a marginal piece of software that is certainly a fraction of it's inspiration XCEL. I generally love the simple Apple approach, but in this case it's not working. I have been trying a very basic layout that would take me 10 minutes in MS. For Numbers (I've been using it for a about 4 months), it's simply not working at all. For now, I'm sticking with MS for business. I don't have time in my day to learn a new way of doing on of the few things MS does very well---spreadsheets.

If you like jelly beans and Jobs, you probably like Numbers. I find the interface to be somewhat unfinished, though I'd probably use it if it weren't such a pig. The idle processor usage runs beyond 10% and it's ever-increasing/leaking memory allocation is already at a ridiculous 113MB RPVT (for a very simple table); more bloatware from Apple. Pathetic.

Alternatively, Tables is fast and uses system resources responsibly.

Fabulous for my needs and with the full purchase of iWork '08, much cheaper than MS Office. Translates Excel spreadsheets just fine.

This update installed and runs no prob. Numbers really is a nice "lite" version of a spreadsheets. It's no number crunching powerhouse, but light number and easy integration with layout/graphic elements it's quite slick. Not surprisingly, it cut-n-pastes into the other iWork apps beautifully, and it's great to have a cell-based tool that can be used for charts/tables that it's so focused on massive number crunching, but more on usability.

While not as refined as the other two apps that comprise the iWork suite, Numbers is adequate for basic spreadsheet needs. Given its performance problems when crunching large spreadsheets, I have my doubts about whether I can dump Excel quite yet. I would not have bought this app on its own, so I consider this one a freebie add-on to the very reasonably priced iWork suite.

I'm hoping that the new version brings the same kind of performance refinements that we've seen with Pages and Keynote to date.

I'd also like to see a better selection of expense-related templates. Can anyone recommend a good one that's currently out there?

Although I greatly appreciate the design and usability (far better than Excel), Numbers is absolutely too slow when working with large datasets (>10,000 rows of data). Specifically, Find and Save are much, much slower than Excel 2004 (MacBook 2.16 GHz with 2 GB RAM, OSX 10.4.10). Its nice for making and formatting lots of small tables, but for analyzing large datasets... unusable.
