Note that with OpenOffice, you don't have to chose between one or the
other any longer!

I have written all my recent presentations (including those for XML
2003) as relatively verbose papers using OpenOffice writer and generated
my OpenOffice Impress presentations by XSLT transformations over the
OpenOffice writer source.

This is the kind of stuff that XML enables (and that will be possible
with MS Office when the XML wave will have caught Powerpoint)!
