Beamer is nice if you have a few weeks on your hands to spare. :P If you need to throw together a presentation for 3 days from now and you don't already know exactly what it should look like I wouldn't recommend it.
- flukus 8y agoI rarely have to do presentations and know little of latex but gave beamer a try recently when I had a presentation to do. It's very simple syntax and I learned nearly everything I needed in a couple of hours. The last time I used powerpoint (several years ago) I found the learning curve much higher and even after I started getting the hang of things had to keep fighting it for stuff like code snippets. Throw in a makefile with an inotifywait watcher and you've got a WYSIWYG interface.
