Pages, Numbers and Keynote all hit version 2.6 on iOS 9, while the same titles reached version 5.6 on OS X 10.11 El Capitan, each bringing enhancements specific to Apple's latest operating systems.
Among the more substantial improvements for iOS 9 is support for Slide Over, Split View and Picture in Picture multitasking on iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4 and the upcoming iPad Pro. The apps can also take advantage of the new shortcut bar in iOS 9, as well as keyboard shortcuts for wireless keyboards. On iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, iWork apps are now compatible with pressure-sensitive 3D Touch controls.
Other upgrades include the ability to open iWork '08 and '06 documents and preview shared documents via Web browser, while compatibility with Microsoft's Office suite has also been improved.

Accessibility features received a boost with new VoiceOver commands for editing documents and navigating each app's user interface. Enhancements include adding, editing, reading, interacting and previewing document items, or accessing various menu functions. An exhaustive list of features for all iWork apps can be found on Apple's dedicated What's New webpage.
On OS X 10.11 El Capitan, Pages, Numbers and Keynote bring support for Split View, Apple's new two-up viewing option.

Like their corresponding iOS 9 apps, Mac versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote can open iWork '08 and '06 documents. A full list of features can be found on each app's store page.

Gary, El Capitan was released a while back but I resisted installing it after reading countless reviews of users experiencing horrible productivity loss issues. I’m currently running Yosemite 10.10.5 and as far as I’m concerned this OS could supply me an eternity of blissful Mac experience. The old saying, “don’t fix it, if it’s not broken” haunts me daily. However, I’m concerned that avoiding the upgrade will “leave me standing empty handed at the station when the progress train moves along” and one day I may not be allowed to upgrade without making a new OS system purchase. Is there any truth to this connotation?

More importantly, would you share your first hand experience with El Capitan and please let me know — by installing this OS will I have loss of productivity as problems/bugs are not fully worked-out yet? As my primary work computer, I just cannot afford to have ANY down time!
