Haven't used latex-beamer.
pdfscreen has nice navigation controls on the side of the pdf -- dunno
whether latex-beamer can do that. Adding navigation and launch buttons,
colours, on the fly colour themes (works well when you discover that the
projector you are going to be displaying on has a dying faded tube), works
well with ppower4 post processor
Personally, pdfscreen is better then latex-beamer because my presentations
have been customised to work with pdfscreen :)
