Well, there's at least better version control with git, and the other general benefits of plain text. If you have a bunch of presentations, easier to search among them based on content if they're plain text.
Though, presentations being presentations, the fact that they generally lack content to be useful on their own without their presenter, makes them kind of disposable as documents.

- goffi 4y agopandoc has the killer feature to use beamer to convert markdown to a good looking presentation. It's the simplest and quickest way of doing a presentation I'm aware of, you can just focus on the content: `pandoc -t beamer some_presentation.md -o some_presentation.pdf` For diagrams, I'm using draw.io (it seems that it's called diagrams.net nowadays), it's FOSS, easy to use and feature-full. It's then easy to add it in the presentation by using the markdown syntax for images.
