I would prefer not to reinvent the wheel, and am considering upgrading my iWork apps so that I can gain iCloud integration. The version I'm using does not have that.
Reading up on discussions, If I had to guess, I think Appleās primary goal is fidelity between iPad, iCloud, and Mac versions of Pages, and this means lots of sacrifices on the Mac version.
If you move back and forth between iPad, Mac, and maybe the web version of the document, this might be a good version for you. If you are a heavy Pages user on the Mac, you will probably be disappointed in this version.
The big WARNING is that if you open up an existing Pages 4.3 document in Pages 5.0 and then Save it, you cannot open it again in Pages 4.3. Since Pages 5.0 is missing many features, those features and formatting will now be gone. This could create a bad day for you.
Make sure you have backups of your documents first.
Here are a couple of pages/discussions with useful information.
