Try meld. It depends on Python and some GTK libraries but not much else.

From its web page:

Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers. Meld helps you compare files, directories, and version controlled projects. It provides two- and three-way comparison of both files and directories, and has support for many popular version control systems.

Command like `column -t` that instead keeps separators in output

Not sure if I understand right what is your problem. But, can it be solved adding an additional temporal separator? hence you can use the second separator to mark the separations, keeping the original separator untouched.

See this example where I add a "@" to each of the "|" so the input of the column command would be "xxx @| yyyy". Column will process the "@" keeping the "|" untouched:

~$ echo "foo | this is some text | bar" | sed 's/|/@|/g'  | column -s '@' -t
foo   | this is some text   | bar

Light, easy-to-use presentation software

You can make presentations with LyX and the beamer class. LyX is a semi-wysiwyg document editor that saves document in a format that can be converted to and from LaTeX. LyX produces PDF output which you then present in the PDF viewer of your choice. This meets your compulsory requirements; I don't know about animations, you don't stand a chance of Powerpoint import/export, and there are templates.
