Very disappointed

What happened to Apple? With the iPad Pro being hyped as a viable replacement for a laptop, why cant Apple produce a decent word-processing app? I like Pages on my MacBook, but on the iPad:
(1) The interface is completely different. (In fact the interface for everything on the iPad is different: users must learn two different interfaces for everything.)
(2) No thesaurus? Are you kidding me? Does Apple really expect people to write on this like a laptop without a built-in thesaurus feature?
(3) Lots of little glitches and inconveniences: endless load times, help button simply doesnt display tips for all the buttons, and, weirdly, if you have ever added another language in keyboard controls, you will never be able to remove pop-up bilingual dictionaries under define—even if you have removed the language in controls. Just all-around clunky and poorly thought-out!

Update 10/16: Still disappointed:
Latest "update" includes a number of glitches. Heres one right off the bat: I cannot now add headers and footers to documents converted from Word. WTH? I could fully edit these docs before. Why does every Apple overhaul seem like a Beta?
And it still feels like a completely different app from the OS version. Do Apples OS and iOS people ever compare notes?

yousif p. about Pages, v3.0
