I've seen some very nice posters done in PowerPoint, although when I tried to use it myself, it was not long before I gave up in frustration. Of the two posters I've ever presented, I used Michael Wilkinson's sciposter.cls in LaTeX for the second (this year); for the first (about a decade ago), I think I used Uhu. I was pretty satisfied with the LaTeX one, although given the amount of tweaking I did to it, I'm not sure how much the sciposter document class really contributed apart from setting things up for A0 paper and a honking big default font size. The wallpaper.sty package was useful for the background.
