I have to admit that I have not tried to use Google Presentations, though I do use Google Docs & Spreadsheets. The reason simply has been that normally, if I am creating a presentation, it is for use at a speaking engagement of some sort, and that means I want to ensure that it runs on the projection system and PC that will be on the dais, and that it can be copied and viewed by attendees later, in a format I think they will use. Microsoft PowerPoint, in other words.
But Google coders have enhanced the Presentation application in ways that immediately made sense to me. Presentations now can be saved in a file format that allows them to be embedded directly into Web sites. Now that is something one cannot really do with a Microsoft Powerpoint.
In fact, there is now a new use case. If I want to create content in that format for Web distribution only, I don't have "native application" issues. I can simply embed the presentation directly onto a blog or other site. Cool.
