I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but it appears to be much
better than Prosper (whose development, I believe, has ceased).  I
especially like the fact that one can use pdflatex directly, in contrast
to Prosper.  Also, it appears that Beamer will make for clearer, less
cluttered LaTeX code.  I look forward to trying it.  Thanks very much
for pointing this out.
