what i really miss in most (all ?) of these frameworks is an embedded markup language (markdown or variants), so that one does not have to bother with html in order to create lists, fonts, tables etc.

In my own "sttp" tool, most of the javascript is exactly for this purpose - the slide deck is just the content of a textarea and is almost readable even without formatting.

For styles, i use braces and css styles e.g. {style1 style2 style3,some text} which has the compactness of latex and the flexibility of css.

Reveal.js, at least, supports inline markdown blocks. https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#markdown
