As someone who used to make pitch books in investment banking (not GS), I'll tell you some of the awesome things I saw from a user perspective.
-- Funny when they mentioned fitting in a lot of text in a small space. I've never used so much 8-pt font in my life before or since. A lot of the time you are very space constrained in things like detailed footnotes, so you are almost tweet speaking to fit it all in there
-- The number section blew me away, the fact that you are getting fixed width number performance (and capital letter tickers too) in a "normal" font is incredible. There is a lot of focus on perfect number alignment (the dreaded #,##0_);(#,##0) number format in Excel).
Also to address some of the comments why they didn't put a slash through the 0. The audience is financial professionals and the slashed 0 is not used, and would be very distracting and especially so for large round numbers ie
