PowerPoint is only a bad idea if you assume that giving "regular people" access to powerful tools is a bad idea. I've had to modify slides many times to dump aaaall my information in there because my boss at the time didn't know the difference between a slide deck and a handout. I know I bored everyone to death. But is it fair to blame the tool? Maybe there's a point to be made that PowerPoint should be more strict in what it accepts, and that current trends in boring you to death are a result of that. But I don't think PowerPoint is bad idea per se.
