I find text slides to be frustrating when listening, but that's mostly because it highlights how mind-bogglingly slowly they're usually talking. Also, I find it invaluable to have the slides able to stand on their own if I need to go back or missed the presentation. Even if the presentation was recorded (which doesn't seem to be the case, typically) in high quality (which seems to be even more rare), I find it much easier to just skim through the parts of the text that I care about.
