I've also used both apps. I also agree that Keynote is one of the best  
(if not the best) app that Apple sells. I've created a handful of  
presentations for clients and colleagues with it.

It provides all the functionality that Powerpoint gives you, except  
you won't feel that you are wrestling with the tool.

There used to be an iwork trial. If that's still available I'd  
recommend taking a look at it. I don't think that  you will be  
disappointed with Keynote.
