> Frankly people using latex-beamer make me roll my eyes too. It's a sign you care about tools more than outcome. If you're making a presentation, your goal should be to produce the ideal design to convey your message to the audience. Latex always gets in the way of this. (Some latex wizards are going to disagree obviously, but for the vast majority of users it's true.) It's a sign that I care about outcome and efficiency. I want the minimum effort on my part to have the maximum clarity and impact. Beamer is that tool. I do roughly zero formatting, and in exchange I get something that looks good, is very clear and simple for the audience to understand, and has impact. The beauty of LaTeX is that it gets out of the way. I don't need to think about formatting, I can think about content.
