What designers hate might be what makes what other's (most of them) job easier.

that said, I myself have a "reset.css" template so that I don't have to deal with the defaults...

I'm a designer and I don't hate PowerPoint, I hate the fact that most users abuse PowerPoint by cluttering up the screen with endless novels and too many graphics that don't illustrate a point. A good designer can clean up a well done PowerPoint show in minutes by changing themes and picking the right typeface. However what's often really required is an editor to turn volumes of text into a story -- and that's a task that shouldn't be done at the last minute.

That is completely true, as well. But the software does nothing to discourage mindless design, which is some reason for worry
