Aperture was well thought of by some users and I was a fan of iDVD. Claris emailer was a good program as was Claris Works. The list goes back many years and includes software from Apple's application company Claris. Part of the problem is that Apple introduces software and kills it off.
I can say up front that I have said some nice things about Pages 5 but it is not a piece of software that I choose to use. Sure there are people out there who still think OS X is Apple's gift to the world, but you will struggle to find someone singing the praises of Mail, Pages, Keynote, iPhoto or any of Apple's shrinking suite of computer software. I think people who love Apple written software are a little harder to find. Many people love Apple computer hardware.
