[libreoffice-users] How good is Impress compared to PowerPoint?

Hello

Before possibly recommending LibreOffice to a friend who needs an office
suite for her personal use, I need to know how  good its Impress component
is compared to PowerPoint.

She won't need to create very sophisticated slides, and won't need to import
PowerPoint files. It's just to create some presentations for her class. She
has regular office skills, she's not a geek.

If you have extensive experience with both PowerPoint and Impress, would you
say Impress is good enough or still lacking?

Here's a review:
"Admittedly, PowerPoint still outperforms Impress, yet not by such an extent
that the difference couldn't be overcome in a release or two. In fact, the
lack of improvements in Impress over the last few years -- particularly in
its audio capabilities -- suggests that for most users the deficiencies are
unimportant."

Thank you.
