I don't dislike Powerpoint as much as I hate the presentations I have to create or sit throught that involve Powerpoint. But, to the Swiss---I say go for it...
I don't think there is a problem with PowerPoint. The problem is with presenters that don't use it correctly. The slides are full of way too much information and a lot of them read it verbatim. There should be a minimal amout of info on the slide and the presenter should be expanding upon that.
The program as way to many bells whistle distractions which in the hands of bad designers / presenters creates nothing but world class blivets.
Im all for a ban on powerpoint and powerpoint presentations. And sales people that create PPT presentations that do not understand the basic principals of good design and marketing.
(I prefer Keynote. Even better I build my presentations as pdfs)

There is no advantage with a pdf. Crap on a slide is crap no matter what software you use to create it with.
Yes - lots of people create bad powerpoint (or Open Office, or PDF based, or Apple) presentations. Reprimand the people, not the software.

It will be a LONG time before PowerPoint goes away. Blame the poor users, not the tool.
It would be nice if every application could catch wrong word usage. Like principals/principles.
