Some impressions from my experiences while preparing my first powerdot presentation held yesterday: Pro beamer: there are subsections, subtitles, "blocks" (pretty boxes), fancier overlay commands, better default vertial spacing on slides Pro powerdot: much nicer style presets, much cleaner latex interface, fast evolving (promising), better reuse of existing packages (enumitem, xkeyval), many contributors (not at least Herbert :) ), allows postscript specials (killer argument if you need it) Both are nicely documentated, allow verbatim text with overlays, allow customization. I would use beamer for for larger presentations (i.E. teaching classes as in [1]) and beamer for shorter, more visual presentations. HTH & YMMV.
