Agreed

>Do you have an example?

Even if we assume that the PC I am going to use for the presentation has a pdf
viewer, or a modern browser, I do not know all the products on the market, and
in any case I do not know the shortcuts for the functions of the pdf viewer by
heart, which means that I could easily ruin the presentation if I were to use
software I do not know, which is the least desirable thing when giving a
presentation in a professional environment. Why add this extra stress? I
usually carry a pdf version of the presentation with me as a fallback solution,
but I hope I don't need it.

To name a few: next slide, speaking notes, timer.

I find it very disappointing that the Impress slide show capability is
considered equivalent to a browser or to a pdf reader if you do not need
"special effects" (which, by the way, I do not like).
