That's an interesting site.
But it misses a couple of the best options:

Marslides:  http://www.cds.caltech.edu/~wgm/WARM/slides/

(based on TeXpower, graphicx, hyperref, etc.
 solves many compatibility problems, and is very extensible)


ConTeXt:  http://www.pragma-ade.com/

(very sophisticated replacement for LaTeX, based on pdfTeX;
 links with MetaPost for generating graphics)


Hope this helps,
