I liked the article but I didn't see anything about animations. I often use this feature in PowerPoint and am curious if a similar feature is available in Keynote. One point where Apple could score here is to offer more flexiblity in animations, like move object from point A to point B. PowerPoint only gives a list of options that all move the object from somewhere offscreen to the postion you want. Along the same theme, how about slide transitions?

  Keynote uses the name "builds" for what PPT calls "animations". The two are roughly comparable in power in this area.
  
  Transitions - plenty of those to choose from (about 15) - see http://www.darwinsys.com/training/keynote/toomanytransitions.mov for a bad example of using every available transtion (though not all combinations of left, right, top, bottom, etc).
