This is not a technical review. For full disclosure, I find designing a presentation in PPT to be a continuously annoying experience. However, others seem to be able to crank stuff out a lot faster and nicer-looking than I do, so maybe it's just fine on that front. My presentations, however, look like the art-analogs of stick figures and doodled speech bubbles.
Sometime in the late 90s, PowerPoint became the thing to use for presentations. It was to make presentations amazing, dynamic and infinitely informative....assuming the presenter had the vision to know what they wanted to put together and show. In reality, most presentations look[ed] like what I produce. And, PowerPoint ended up not being the answer and plenty of people say "PowerPoint kinda really sucks"
Most of its users never learned how to use it, or ever even figured out what they wanted to make with it. The users' shortcomings infected the impression of the product. Does anyone blame a drill and saw when Uncle Fred's homemade chair is ugly and doesn't work?
Gun proponents should be familiar with this: guns are getting the bad rap because enough of their users are stupid with them.
