If you are interested in a "critical review/discussion" of
presentation software in the most general of terms, start with Edward
Tufte's critique called "The cognitive style of PowerPoint: pitching
out corrupts within."  The issues discussed in his essay should be
considered regardless of what your presentation software is because,
as Tufte argues, they all share many of the same flaws (but PPT is the
worst among them).  More here:
