Presentations: Workflow
For writing presentations, there is perhaps nothing better than a good outliner (maybe emacs + nXML?). I like Keynote, but its performance problems and UI eccentricities are enough to have caused me to give up using it for creating the text of a presentation. It’s simply too frustrating; constantly getting in my way and slowing my thought process down.
I’ve thus gone back to using OmniOutliner, which remains quite elegant in many ways. It has also had XML support for the past year or so, and export to Keynote.
Still, I really wish Omni would get its OO development in higher gear. There is still a lot of improvement possible in this application, and I’ve not seen much of it in the past year.
