That wait time grated on me too much, so I plunked down the $50 for iWork. The only problem is that it lacks a spreadsheet program, so I still wind up using NeoOffice/J, an OS X version of OpenOffice.Org, for things like that. (Then again, OpenOffice.Org has never loaded particularly quickly for me.)
I highly recommend iWork. Pages has held up for everything from English papers to forty-page photo-laden facebooks, and the presentations I've done with Keynote have been nothing short of marvelous. And the suite exports to every format imaginable--Pages goes to PDF and Word (among others), and Keynote goes to PDF, PowerPoint, PNG, JPEG, and QuickTime.
