Pages Redundancy
I really like the new thin Pages toolbar. It has a lot of functionality that was awkwardly stuck in inspectors in the iWork ‘06 version (and that addition alone makes Pages feel like a true Word replacement for my needs). But some aspects of it just confuse me.
Say I want to make a selection of text bold. I can click the little “a” character popup menu and select “Emphasis”: 
Or, I could choose “Bold” from the popup menu in the font section of the toolbar:
Finally, I can just click the “B” on yet another section of the toolbar:
So what’s going on here? That’s three toolbar selections that do exactly the same thing. I’d much prefer some breathing room between all of those tiny widgets.
