I agree; it shouldn’t be that hard. To me it would make sense to have
the selection of the “Frame” environment automatically create a new
slide without the need for a separate end of frame marker. However, I
suppose there may be some folks who want to use the “Frame”
environment for some content other than the Frame title. For them, we
could have a “Frame-New-Slide” environment that would automatically
create a new slide.
That’s the way it works in Markdown. Just put a heading hashtag #
before your text and that line becomes the title of the new slide.
Easy as pie.

Since both of you replied but didn't directly commented on my
suggestion (basically, use increased depth/indentation for stuff that
should go on a frame which makes the whole separator machinery
unnecessary between frames), I am wondering whether you had any
thoughts about it or whether the suggestion isn't clear enough.

Daniel,
I can only speak for myself. Since I am not a developer, and know
nothing about what is behind the screen of Lyx/Beamer, I assume that
there is a (valid?) reason behind the need for an End-Of-Frame, without
which, presumably, things will go fall apart. All I know is that it IS
difficult, right now, and -- I suspect-- does not need to be.
I can understand that you are worried about making constructive
suggestion because you don't know all the details. However, I agree with
Scott who is actually one of the developers, that it is still worthwhile
to make suggestions. You just need to be comfortable with your
suggestion meeting criticism or, worst case, not getting attention. So,
you need to make up your mind whether you are comfortable with this.
As for the development. In my experience, there are always things that
seem like a good or simple idea at first but might not seem ideal later
on. Furthermore, LyX has only a small developer team with little time at
their hands and small user base that provides feedback, so it is not
completely surprising if that happens more frequently.
