Default UI overview
(the main interface is bolded) |

Thoughts | The interface has been criticized for the deviations in logic listed above, as well as for being too different from its predecessor. [1] [2] [3], but has also been praised for ease of use and browseability [4] | Can feel very bloated or outdated UI-wise, as many UI elements can be used for the same task and as the "revolutionary" ribbon from its Windows counterpart is not present, and the suite relies on the old menus and toolbars that have been there since its inception | Not all commands are built into the menus, and so the user is forced to look through both the menu bar and the Inspector, which can be very frustrating | Very spartan interface, due to lack of features |
Scrolling | Scrolls through slides, but doesn't show two slides at once | Behaves like its Windows counterpart | Scrolls within the slide only | No scrolling by default (the zoom changes as the window is resized), but, with zoom, one can scroll the slide only |
Dragging/editing textboxes |
|
Same as its Windows counterpart |
|
|
Lists |

|
Paste Special | A floating, contextual drop-down button, which presents three choices: "Keep Source Formatting," "Use Destination Theme," and "Keep Text Only" | Same as its Windows counterpart. | Split into two Edit options: "Paste" and "Paste and match style". | No paste special |
More to come. Or, if anybody wants to add these topics, go ahead: Installation, customization (appearance, colors, etc.), updating, collaboration, inserting tables, Help, adding/removing slides, playing the slide show, audio/video (setting audio to start/stop on slides, embedding and playing back a video), warnings when saving to a format which might render file incorrectly, cropping images, downloading and working with language tools (grammar/spell checking), and image manipulation. You can also add screenshots (be aware of copyright issues [5] [6], as Apple is particularly known for suing people who post unauthorized screenshots), other presentation applications, comments, links, and other things that could be useful. And feel free to correct me if I'm doing this wrong.
