This is a good tool for people who have something to say. I like its minimalist approach, although realistically, one probably still needs LaTeX to create figures for mathematical formulae in scientific/technical fields. I also see value in teaching/learning to create presentations. As we all know, with both PPT and LaTeX people tend to spend a lot of time fiddling with formatting issues, at the expense of improving the distillation of ideas [1]. PPT and fellows are often used to distract from lack of subtance (which is the reason it is forbidden at Amazon [2], where they read & discuss prose text reports instead).
