Best feature(s): Uniqueness
What I like most about it: I know you used this as your example, but it was a ‘game-changer’ when it first came out. Not sure if it was the first slideshow to incorporate the content live action footage, but it was definitely the best, and the first in this neck of the woods.

So being praised for standing out of the crowd is the highest and the most difficult achievement for a designer.
