| Why not use LaTeX (Beamer) for presentations?
| sfpotter wrote:
| Honestly, it's not that bad. I've used Beamer for years, and
| every time I make a presentation using it I fantasize about
| finding something like Powerpoint to use instead. You think
| adjusting things is bad in Powerpoint or Keynote, but it's
| much worse in LaTeX where you only have loose and indirect
| control over layout, unless you use something like PGF/TikZ,
| which is just... tedious, let's say. I have thought for a
| while that taking a class to learn how to properly use
| something like Adobe Illustrator would repay itself many
| times over.
|
| Also, a poor craftsman blames his tools... things like Beamer
| might "look nicer", but the downside is homogeneity. I've you
| seen one Beamer presentation, you've seen them all. On the
| other hand, the "ugliness" of a Powerpoint or Keynote
| presentation is probably down to your lack of skill at visual
| design.
| paultopia wrote:
| But that's precisely the point. There are lots and lots of
| people who need to make presentations regularly, who do not
| have professional visual design training or the budget to
| hire pros. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the number
| of PowerPoints and the like made by pros is a vanishingly
| small number of total PowerPoints. The rest of us are not
| supposed to be craftsmen in that, we're supposed to be
| craftsmen in the thing the presentation is _about_. This is
| a market opportunity for someone to make better tools.
| sfpotter wrote:
| I disagree.
|
| If you're giving presentations as part of your job, then
| part of your job is to give presentations. Presumably,
| you should also do a _good_ job of giving those
| presentations. Giving a good presentation means
| communicating effectively using the medium, which very
| well could require becoming enough of a craftsman to use
| the medium well. Lots of jobs require learning skills
| that are unrelated to main focus of the job. That 's just
| life.
|
| Of course, we could talk about whether so many people
| _should_ be giving presentations, but that 's another
| issue...
|
| I suppose the opportunity exists for someone to step in
| and create a magical tool, but I have to say I think it's
| probably better if people just learn to communicate
| visually if they're able.
| paultopia wrote:
| I mean, sure, I guess, if you think that visual design

|
| I come at this from a weird angle, maybe. As an academic,
| I'm basically a professional writer. I recognize that I
| have pro-level writing skills, earned over years of blood
| and pain, and that when I read some corporate memo (more
| often than I'd like) it will almost certainly be written
| very badly, by my lights. But I forgive that, because
| even though writing memos and such is a part of many
| corporate jobs, it isn't the most important skill, and
| it's a skill that takes years to master.
|
| Would it be ideal if those memos were written more
| skillfully? Sure. Is that realistic, given the
| constraints on people's time? Absolutely not. When
| someone wires up a language transformer model to fix
| that, I will cheer.
| sfpotter wrote:
| I guess it depends on what field of academics you're in.
| Speaking as a fellow academic, all the time I've spent

| to be able to make nice figures). It even helps when I'm

| powerpoint anyway, I just end up making the slides there.
|
| That being said, I'll probably spend the day in the Marp rabbit
