I don't agree.
powerpoint is a good piece of software, and with a bit of care you can make good looking presentations that you can share and work on with your clients.if you're trying to use it on a mac, it's rubbish (no surprise that microsoft didn't care about that though)
What it needs is better templates and better clip art (yes clip art),
so no, powerpoint doesn't need to end. it needs to be supported.

If I had to kill something I would kill state agents first. Still, PPT is shite, but from time to time you have to show your flair making a good design on a shite piece of software.
Can you imagine the average comic-sans-lover-CFO doing a presentation in... let's say, flash?
Also, it probably wouldn't even run on a mac! :P

Our MD is sh1t-hot in PPT. Makes them look amazing he does! He asked me to amend one the other day, didn't have a clue where to start. It's an awful app that makes you work super hard to use and make things look good. It's never going away, so learn it and use it only when you need to.

I hate using it, mainly due to the fact that we have 07 at work and I hate the 07 office interface with those annoying tabs to navigate menus.
It isn't all that bad to design with however. Just takes some getting used to.

I've made an obscene amount of money from Powerpoint.
..and when a client wants something that they can edit themselves, in a lot of situations it's the only way.
..and good for projecting presentations.
...so basically, it has a lot of uses, and there is massive demand for desgners who can use it and are willing to. It's how I got my foot in the design door, basically.. so I'd recommend it to anyone fresh out of college, but they just have to make sure they squirm out of it once they've got something on their cv.
- And I thought I was the only one who had to live with the shame of having made cash using powerpoint, thanks projectile,georgesIII
- yes... but when client can edit themselves, do they always want to cram in more stuff? then say "ugh, it looks too busy!"vaxorcist
