PowerPoint is somewhat awesome though, yar.

Everything it does can be done better elsewhere, but it does so much that you can use one thing rather than learn several new tools separately.

You just have to get past and ignore the "Microsoft" part, to see that Office is a legit achievement bc of all the work they put into that.

Ofc it doesn't compare to Latex, but that's like a different class of tool entirely so it's okay:-).

Nope. LO Impress doesn't support inline equations, something quite annoying if you're going to prepare slides for scientific stuff.

Just latex to svg your math for impress.

For real though, it's such a miss for impress to not have in line math
