iWork.com receives an update

Joanna you're getting quite good at this trolling. #2 spot for this round!

If I wanted my clients editing the docs they are only to review, I might use Google Docs. If I wanted my docs to look fugly in an interface that looks like Windows shareware circa 1990, I'd think strongly about using Google Docs. If I wanted to spend time guessing which email they use to authenticate with Google, then re-send it after guessing wrong or asking them to sign up for an account, I'd definitely use Google Docs.

But because I don't want any of that BS for my clients, I sit at the grownups table and use something that doesn't drive them crazy..

@Steve
Online Editing will need some mighty powerful Ajax, to provide a similar experience to Pages, Numbers and Keynote. I'd rather edit natively and get input from others online. That way I remain the custodian of my document.

@Joanna D;
There is more of a chance that local XML-based documents will be editable in the future than online proprietary documents. They will also be editable today when I'm in the middle of nowhere without an Internet connection.
Keeping synchronised offline versions of Google Docs isn't as simple as keeping synchronised offline versions of iWork.com documents.

All of this is moot until we get the ability to edit online.
