Agree on most points, and will be checking out the HTML org options as I mentioned.
I did want to correct that slidify is not tied to rstudio, even though it integrates nicely with it. I was playing with it when straight from an R session within Emacs when I wrote the post.
It also has some nice web publishing features to send the presentation right to git, dropbox, or rpubs from R, (though I didn't try that outside of rstudio, so there could be caveats).
