Keynote's ability to show the presenter what is important to the
presenter and the audience what is important to the audience is
unmatched as far as I can tell.
But, copying and pasting from Preview/Skim/LatexIt into Keynote is
sort of annoying.
That is, Beamer is nicer for authoring and Keynote is nicer for
presenting (in my humble and relatively ill-informed opinion).
So, now, a couple of times I've used Beamer to make the presentation,
but then pdftokeynote to convert Beamer slides to Keynote:

The dual-display Beamer option has always looked very promising to me.
I'd love to get a tutorial next Methods conference if any of y'all use
it routinely.
