The idea that PowerPoint can be used in elaborate ways is akin to saying that you can design a brochure in MS Word: yes, you can, but who would choose to if almost any other choice was available?


Creative is OK. Elaberate is not. All too often presenters confuse the two and subsitute elaborate for creative.

This is a side issue, but I used "elaborate" rather than "creative" here because slide presentations tend to the simple. To be creative in a slide presentation, I'm suggesting, you need to make elaborate use of the software. I wasn't thinking of the design or the results - where I agree with you
