From what we've looked at so far, we've still not found a programmatic way of generating slides which isn't painful. If you ever find something good I'd be keen to hear about it. I've gone back to LibreOffice Impress which is considerably less than ideal.

I use beamer because I can't stand WYSIWYGs. But yes like I said above "using beamer is not too far off from the definition of self-harm".

I'm stuck to PowerPoint thanks to coprorate design, but if I get to do my own slides, I like to use RMarkdown these days to generate HTML slides in RStudio. Much nicer to use than Beamer, and I get to write Markdown rather than LaTeX.

Not Rer, or whatever yall are called. But yeah, that's obviously better than self-harm.

I only start RStudio to do slides. I do my data sciency code in Python if I can.

I see. Would it load MathJax to do equations?

I've never tried, but looking at the page sources it seems to load MathJax

Thought it would. 
Loading seems to be taking a while.
