Creating and giving a good presentation is an art and also a skill. Most don't want to learn how to do it, and certainly don't want to work at getting better. Blaming ppt for bad presentation is like blaming someone who makes canvases for bad paintings that result.

I agree with this, to a certain extent. The problem is that PowerPoint has created the expectation that anyone, with any amount of training (or lack thereof) can make an effective presentation.
I eventually made a P-Point presentation for the people running the conference I'm speaking at next week, but will probably not use it that much.
I also like Keynote better, but my clients are all PC based, and Keynote does not seem to translate well in a lot of cases.
