I will vote AMD for president next time if I'm having any shares during next meeting.

As the TT states, this is going to be dumb but I have to ask
What is the point of PowerPoint?
I have been using it "meaningfully" in my new role at work and I'm kind of at a loss as to why these types of programs came in to existance?
To me it feels like word without the majority of the word processing functions. It comes packed with clip art although its image editing functions are marginally above MSPaint which often means having to use an external application to create/edit images and to enter bulk text you are better off using word again. To add to this, copying from excel means pasting in to Paint or word beforehand otherwise you lose your formatting.
So what is the point, surely adding the extra clip art and slideshow function to word would save you from having another application open or better yet, use a PDF?
This seems like a whole lot of coding for something that the other programs mentioned (and thier ilk) can do already.
I have yet to find a satisfactory answer so thought I would ask here
