I am a longtime AppleWorks 6 user who now uses iWork ’08. I can use Pages as my word processor and Numbers as my spreadsheet, but what can I use to replace AppleWorks’ Draw module?
EazyDraw is a worthy successor to the Draw module in AppleWorks 6.
If you’re looking for a robust drawing app that will import your old AppleWorks 6 Draw documents, take a look at Dekorra Optics’ EazyDraw (3 out of 5 stars). EazyDraw can handle free-form drawings as well as technical diagrams, organization charts, and family trees. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a very user-friendly program with lots of built-in templates and a gigantic collection of artwork, fonts, and special effects, then check out Software MacKiev’s The Print Shop for Mac (4 out of 5 stars, Aug/07, p64). It’s one of our favorite tools for creating flyers, newsletters, pamphlets, certificates, greeting cards, and more. Sure, Pages can help you with a lot of these tasks on its own, but if you need more options, go with The Print Shop.

I for one am going to stick with AppleWorks for awhile. First of all, there's zero learning curve and, even though Apple's new Bento now provides a database, using a bunch of different apps is still not as good as having them all integrated into one. And that's the reason I still have not forgiven Apple for letting AppleWorks languish.

I plan to stay with it in my elementary school classes. It has always been very user friendly.

How about Intaglio (Purgatorydesign.com)
I have tried a bunch of different programs, including the two mentioned above, and Intaglio was the only one that I could stand to use. Just my personal opinion. This is a program that is great for everyday use, not just for playing with for one day after you purchased the license.
