#33I loved signing up to slid.es - for some reason it's just never that smooth, but my brain was completely on autopilot and before I knew it, I could start building slides.
As for the app itself, I'll have to play around a bit more, but initial impressions are that it's very responsive and something I wish was available years ago.

#34For quick and dirty presentations, I created http://glebbahmutov.com/slides-now/ - just drag and drop .md file. Supports themes, timers, etc. Even does very nice jobs with code blocks, because I need to show code a lot.

#35The recently-released pandoc 1.12 (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc) supports reveal.js as an output format. I've been using it for some time to give talks, and it works well. The 2-D navigation structure makes it easier to find slides when there are questions.

#36Am I the only one who finds the concept of "vertical slides" a bit, errr, wrong?
A presentation is a linear process. The first time a skipped through someone's slides who had this concept (without being presented to) I missed half of the content.
Is it for "things I might not have time for"? or What am I missing here?

I use them as "chapters". When there are question, I can navigate through chapters and the audience gets a repeat of the main points.
Use "space" for advancing.

#38I am using impress.js for all my presentations: http://bartaz.github.io/impress.js/
I use it here and there as well. I combined it with meteor to give a presentation without having to screen share. https://github.com/phillc/meteor-impress Example: http://phillc-cd.meteor.com/ Open in multiple tabs and click the following button in the top left and move around.
It's impressive. But I think it's too much and distracts from the content. Use animations wisely!
Use animations to explain concepts & context but don't make the animations your presentation!

I recently used reveal for a conference talk, and structured it so that most of the slides are vertical. My talk had 5 horizontal slides: hello, topic 1, topic 2, topic 3, and then goodbye. I started off by saying "hi, i'm gonna talk about these three things:" and then scrolling right, then going back left and saying "Okay, topic 1" and then down.
Someone who didn't see the talk but looked at the slides found it VERY confusing.

#40I still prefer Keynote to JS presentation tools since playing with layout is easier manually than with css (for me).
But one killer feature Keynote lacks is slide inheritance. I love using build-outs and I wish I could edit a parent slide and have the changes propagate to its children. This feature would be much easier to build out with a JS presentation framework.
