I like writing in markdown and use it literally everyday. But...powerpoint and keynote are so simple, and universal, why would you use anything else to slap together a basic slide show. Yeah I know...independence... forever format... F'Microsoft. Well, I'll take convenience and productivity, thank you very much.
- pohl 4y agoWhile mousing around in a gui to build pages of slides may have a better initial UX, it can never match the productivity of a user who knows the markdown rules creating one small file in a plain text editor.
- 7174n6 4y agoI agree with that. But if you're doing a presentation about something then curb appeal matters. You can't beat ppt and keynote for simplicity and making it look good too.
