I think that most of the slide transitions are not helpful, and serve no
purpose, so I don't care about having them or not. Converting PP
presentations to pdf is easy, and the output looks fine, just as the pdf
output of Lyx/Beamer presentations.
It is disappointing and frustrating that Impress, the OpenOffice "clone"
of PowerPoint is so buggy and unstable-- it actually makes Powerpoint
look good.

Possibly, but will you get transitions? Beamer fakes transitions by using
multiple PDF pages to capture a slide at various stages. Does PP know how to
write a PDF that way? (I haven't used PP in years, and when I did I had no
reason to think about this.)
