Rob Griffiths, of Macworld.com, provides his first look at the newest component of the iWork suite: Numbers.

According to Rob, "I think Apple’s new approach to spreadsheets is going to be quite successful, at least based on my initial hands-on time. The program is fast, the features are well thought out, and the new paradigm that Apple has applied to the staid old spreadsheet application solve many of the frustrations that we’ve come to accept with those traditional programs."
Given Mr. Griffith's almost 20 years of using spreadsheets, I respect his initial review. I've only begun getting used to spreadsheets after using them daily in business school, and Rob is spot on when he says that "In Excel, it takes lots of messing with row and column heights and widths, and text that spans cells, to make everything line up just the way you want it."
Have you played around with Numbers yet? If so, what are your thoughts?
