I wish I could use LibreOffice, but as a scientist the PowerPoint clone is awful. Editing and importing PowerPoint is very buggy and clunky. For example, sometimes bits of slides become uneditable. Also, the default kerning and anti aliasing is pretty poor.

I thought that Latex/Beamer was a default amongst certain scientific disciplines?

Perhaps in comp sci but my experience in the mechanical/aerospace engineering field has been that most people have never even heard of latex or beamer.

I agree: the PowerPoint clone is a terrible scientist.
