We mostly use this simply because our collaborators use powerpoint and this will do a pretty good job with that format. The biggest annoyance is that when we use it natively, we still can't use EPS figures and thus are limited by the pixellation in JPG or PNG formats.
[1] I frequently ask the same question when making presentations in latex with latex-beamer... if my presentations were all text, beamer would be fantastic for it, but since they tend to be all graphics, I find myself spending hours fiddling with diagrams in tikz and wonder if this really is the right tool for the job.
LyX works pretty well for presentations. I like it particularly because it handles EPS nicely and equations (for course lectures) come out nicely.
