Depends the use of the tool (PP or Prezi).
Prezi is good for design/artistic presentations and/or when you're trying to be creative.
Conversely, PP is better for formal presentations (eg: pitch book for iBankers).
Each has an optimal use, they personally make me dizzy lol
Tech guys (not TMT bankers, just tech/startup employees) seem to love Prezi. I am not a fan. You will never need to use it professionally in finance.
I personally hate Prezi. Presentations are supposed to be either simple (like a background for a TED talk) or informational (like a pitch book). In neither instance does one need pretty graphics and those insane zoom animations to get a point across. Unless you're dealing with 8th graders.
Everyone agrees PowerPoint is the professional standard, but for any opportunity to convey information outside of the office, Prezi (when done thoughtfully) is probably going to be a more compelling resource than the standard slideshow.
Naive my ass; it's not like this is going to be the next big thing in presentation technology and I'm missing out on it.
Let me simplify this: you either want people looking at you or looking at your presentation. Again, the TED talk versus the pitch book. In neither case is Prezi superior to a simple PowerPoint, unless you want pretty effects to make up for a lack of substance. I'm sure Prezi has its niche uses, but for anyone trying to actually deliver a message, it's just an obstruction.

Guess I opened myself up for the "anything goes" evidence presentation. Good thing those are all 3 or 4 years old.
The point stands: Prezi is a niche tool.
Kassad is correct. A presentation should be carried by your words, not your graphics.
