These days I do most of my LaTeXing as an export from org-mode in emacs. Org-mode allows me to use convenient markup notation, and uses sensible defaults when exporting to LaTeX.

It keeps me happy, especially when exporting slides to Beamer, LaTeX based presentation tool.

Off-topic: Generating slides from an outliner like Org-mode produces those ugly bullet points en mass, doesn't it? The upside is of course, that they are easy and fast to generate. Why do you need that?

Why do you need what?

Also check out org-beamer if you want to stick with org-mode. If you want an alternative try pandoc. It supports 4 or 5 web presentation formats and beamer.
