and worse, people have become so habituated to PP/KN that it is often the first communication vehicle they choose–even when a simple paragraph would do. (Tufte's white paper, "The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint" is an excellent discussion about this & other shortcomings of [the way people use] the tool).

In my experience Keynote presentations look way better, but PowerPoint is more robust.
Guys here at my work always take a ton of time and create these great looking Keynote presentations, but in the end...nobody cares.....nobody seems to pay attention. It is just a presentation.....could be different if you are presenting a website or something creative though....and not just company info.

Non-designer types use it as a creative outlet, I think. They just get all excited and pour all of this extra time into dropping clipart all over the place and using one of each transition effect per slide. They're just having fun — at the expense of presentation clarity, etc.
Getting kinda tired of the whole reflection thing, though. It's the drop-shadow of this decade.

"then use the mac equivalent (slideshow?) and say how much better it is than ppt, even though it's the same damn thing"
Least the fonts and shapes are antialiased and kerned nicely
