Let a hundred flowers bloom, of course, but that is exactly why I'm a convert to LyX not only for writing papers but for working up Beamer presentations. With its WYSIWYM interface, I find composing a presentation in LyX with the Beamer documentclass vastly more intuitive and significantly faster than composing in raw LaTeX in a dedicated text editor (my own choice is Emacs), especially for putting together presentations with lots of graphics and/or math.
