I recommend that you keep on using Beamer, because it somehow forces you to
design slides that are comprehensible, visually appealing and have a good
structure.
I prefer to use Impressive [1] (formerly Keyjnote) to present my slides,
because it lets me highlight parts of a slide, or switch between them *while i
am giving the talk* in ways i can hardly foresee when i am designing my
slides.
