I agree, PowerPoint gets a bad rap. Take all those bad PowerPoint presentations out there, tell their authors to go use Keynote, and they'll come back with bad presentations. Blame on the tool here is way overdone.
In this context PowerPoint is used as a description for a style of presentations (e.g. lots of bullet points) I think most people realise it would be the same if that style was done using Keynote or transparencies.
But yeah, it's a shame PowerPoint has become the descriptor.
Yeah, agreed. I've personally taken to ensuring that no bullet points make it into any presentations I provide. When I made the "switch", I found my presentations were much better. The clarity of a single term vs. bullet points cannot be underestimated.
