Hi Scott,
Thanks for your work in keeping the packages working. I'm still using
foils (foiltex) so I'm very happy if it can be kept working for a long
time. In fact, I was not aware that it is no longer maintained.
That's too bad because I think I'm not the only one who still uses it.
In my personal opinion, beamer uses too many boxes and does not look
good if you use a lot of figures/images on the slides. Beamer slides may
look better for text-only slides but those slides are boring to begin
with ;-)
Yes, I depend on foils to. I tried beamer for my last presentation
(because I needed its slide animation features), but I really did not
like it. Too much bling for my taste. OTOH, I reckon that foilTeX slides
can be a bit ugly, and I'd welcome another option.
JMarc
