I remember using LibreOffice. It does the job, but with noticeable deficiencies. At this point Google Docs basically replaced the MS Office suite for me. Who even needs "powerpoint" anymore? All of the "character bullet sound animations" are like the 90s web of office software. I basically use Google Docs to look at shared notepads and CSVs, and that's about it.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> Who even needs "powerpoint" anymore? People who want to make some slides. And why did you put it in scare quotes as if you’re not even convinced it exists?
- anonytrary 6y agoThey don't need powerpoint to do that.
- smabie 6y agoExcel is much more powerful than Sheets. But maybe that's a bad thing. I've seen entire billion dollar portfolios run on Excel.
- Erlich_Bachman 6y agoIf it works, why would it be bad?
- smabie 6y agoNo it didn't work, the performance of the fund was terrible and the portfolio manager was a muppet.
- sys_64738 6y agoI’ve seen this too with Excel. Some of those custom spreadsheets are so complex and developed over decades that it’s not worth my job to try using LO Calc on it. Billions of dollars are dependent on the results from the Spreadsheet. Crazy but true.
- Erlich_Bachman 6y agoIt's not like using Powerpoint is something based on taste or random enthusiasm. People who use it are the ones that need to make a presentation. It's not a choice, it's dictated by the task at hand.
- oriolid 6y agoIf you just need to make a presentation, Slides does the job as well. There might be something that Powerpoint can do and Slides can't (those animated transitions? I'd be happy if Powerpoint removed them too), but in my experience it's not like trying to replace Excel with Sheets.
- akho 6y agoThe point of PowerPoint in corporate environments is that you can embed Excel worksheets.
