Hell, I’m a dev and I already produce most of my slide shows in Figma. I’m so happy a dedicated product is coming! I find Figma unmatched for architecture diagrams. It’s nice to have them at my disposal when preparing slide shows.
For architecture diagrams Ive found Google drawing will work for my use cases. And if its something fancy, lucidchart.
At my previous job we used Google Slides, and I rapidly came to hate it. Here's why Figma Slides has me excited: - I use animation a lot, for many reasons, such as keeping audience focus on parts of the slide and visually explaining information changes and multi-step processes. It's particularly helpful for video. Figma already has much better tools for this; Google's are not particularly powerful and buggy as hell.…
Designers are pretty good at siloing themselves. I worry this may further silo them as the rest of the business will continue to use PPT. Designers frequently express frustration about "not having a seat at the table." It's going to be tough to influence the business when using a different tool than everyone else. Edit: PPT or Google Slides* My point was more about using the tool that the rest of the business is usin…
Google slides have been the bread and butter of all the engineering presentations I've seen and been a part of. And that's too many to even try to count.
I think this depends on what the C-suite was sold more than anything. I've never worked in a "Microsoft shop".
Let designers use their own thing. There's no harm.

> I use animation a lot, My personal preference is the opposite: I came to hate presentations that use animations. Any presentation that can't be presented in static pdf is a presentation I'd rather miss.

Sadly, 99% of my time is spent in Google slides, which is like banging rocks together. Keynote's ability to do things like introspect into postscript/vector objects and align on lines within the object is one of those things that makes you re-evaluate how software should work.
I just wanted to praise Keynote, since it gets so little love.

Then there's the terrible animations—a gif of a meme playing in an infinite loop. These make the slide unwatchable for me.
