    Preview is one of the things mac os got right. it’s hard to copy. If you think about it, it does not make sense that a tool called preview that most people use to quickly read pdf (and other) files, is also a lightweight pdf editor, which is often more useful than acrobat or pdfedit or whatever you use.

    It’s not logical. no one will make a clone of it.

    you’ll have to get used to other tools.






  • It’s this or Google or Microsoft if you want something PowerPoint-like.

    Many recommend to ‘pick a javascript framework’, which just like LaTeX Beamer sounds good if you do your own thing, but not ideal if people expect PowerPoint. Building slides through code is fundamentally different from drag-on-dropping images.

    Pick Google or Microsoft or OnlyOffice and use their web version. This keeps your laptop free of non-free software while using the same tools everyone else has.
