The first is that it's built around collaboration, rather than having it added in after. Keynote and Powerpoint each have collaboration, but they were added in after - it isn't part of the foundation. Google Slides was built around collaboration, but a decade ago when collaborative tools were just emerging. We've learned a lot since then, and I think it suffers from some older architectural decisions that hold it back.
The second is the interop with Figma. The backbone of it is Figma Design - it's all the same tools designers have had for years. Meeting designers in their tool of choice is critical and will smooth the path here, but it'll also mean we hopefully get a lot of features for free in Slides when we ship them in Figma Design (and vice versa).
