I'm a designer and I don't hate PowerPoint, I hate the fact that most users
abuse PowerPoint by cluttering up the screen with endless novels and too many
graphics that don't illustrate a point. A good designer can clean up a well
done PowerPoint show in minutes by changing themes and picking the right
typeface. However what's often really required is an editor to turn volumes of
text into a story -- and that's a task that shouldn't be done at the last
minute.

That is completely true, as well. But the software does nothing to discourage
mindless design, which is some reason for worry

What designers hate might be what makes what other's (most of them) job
easier.

that said, I myself have a "reset.css" template so that I don't have to deal
with the defaults...
