Markdown tools win on typing speed. We win when an agent must ship gallery-grade craft — Title·Bento·Compare proofs, re-theme, audit, and open PowerPoint.

Honest split

They still win

  • Lowest friction if you already think in Markdown
  • Dev-native ecosystems (Slidev) with Vue + live reload
  • Familiar authoring for docs-heavy teams

We win next

  • Agents hit craft ceiling by default — not CSS skill
  • Same JSON re-themes across 75 looks
  • PPTX + Studio + MCP make it a product, not a CLI recipe

Verdict

Keep Marp / Slidev / md-slides when Markdown is the artifact. Use presentation-md when the artifact is a presentation — and your coding agent should clear the stunning-25 craft floor.
