At my company, we started using Figma for creating presentation and slides. Found that even though Figma isn't really designed for making slides like PowerPoint is for example, but folks picked up really quick because it was intuitive. Bonus points for being able to have a library of all of our company assets to use in any slides you were creating. Overall, whatever we lost from not having PowerPoint/Sheets, we gained from not having to pull your hair out fighting it.

Interesting - I've never used figma but I'd be open to trying it. My main concern is that I do a lot of collaboration on presentations, including outside my company, and there would be a lot more friction in having to get collaborators onboarded to figma.

For better or worse, that had always been the appeal or MS Office, pretty much every business uses it so it's easy to share documents. Just like I might rather do my writing in LaTeX, I'm stuck with MS word because of interoperability
