I feel Keynote is far superior to PPT: ease of use through a simple, intuitive interface being the main reason.
Pages is neat, but even in '08 it lacks an autosave feature (or at least one that I could find). That's a small but significant item for me.
I played with Numbers. For most users it is not only adequate, but easier to use than Excel.
I doubt if I will buy iWork 08. My existing keynote is great and I prefer Nisus for word-processing, although all my initial copy is written in Scrivener.
