The UI for the desktop client is a bit rough around the edges, but it's certainly not the worst.

It is the worst for giving presentations. I had practiced for giving a presentation from my MacBook, and it was sprung on me when I arrived. Zoom "oh so helpfully" pops down a control panel every time the mouse cursor approaches the menus at the top of the screen. It also "oh so helpfully" puts itself into fullscreen when I don't want it to do that.

As far as I'm concerned, the UX is bungled.

Unfortunately the default settings aren't great. But if you've got the patience to configure it (e.g., you're a remote employee) it's much more tolerable.
So basically, you have to become a Zoom expert to make it good for presentations? Funny, but Keynote hooked up to a projector or a screen just works.
