Much zippier, and it doesn't suck down CPU cycles when in the background!
AW is usable again. Finally.
I still can't believe it's not Aqua compliant - no sheets: one of the heavily advertised interface improvements for X...
Also hard to believe there's no real-time spell checking since this is a system-wide service. Are there any carbon apps that can use services?

Carbon apps can use the Services menu under 10.1, but they still don't support the type of system service that AppleSpell is. That just might be too intertwined with the Cocoa architecture to implement Carbon support for. But who knows... maybe we'll see it in 10.2.

the apple works team needs to drug out into the street and shot. They need a good serious kick in the junk, this is ridiculous! I can under stand FCP but Appleworks?!? It needs to have the Aqua UI, it need to set a president for how all apps should work.

I installed the new update and thought things were great, until I started working in a database. Selecting a different layout screws the whole thing up. It makes the toolbar disappear and the whole document goes to the background gray, like it slid the whole thing over. Scroll bars have no effect.

I don't know if I'd call it a huge improvement, but I must say I love the added speed, CPU-efficiency, and stability.
I do agree that they need to finish Aqua-izing it, though. That, and they need to get Carbon's Services support up to snuff, including Spellchecker-like services.

I just wish that OpenOffice (openoffice.org) would receive some more support from our Open Source community so that we can finish the port.

But I will get them props for at least making it stable. Been running for nearly 3 days now without a single crash. Never seen word do that.
