Well, best of both worlds is of course to use org-mode and generate
LaTeX (beamer) from it. That way you work with a clean text file and do
not need to worry about the intricacies of LaTeX and Beamer. The
org-mode mailing list has some examples on how to make the LaTeX export
of org-mode generate beamer slides.
