My experience with Beamer is that Lyx is helpful for things like tables
or some other complex entities. For simple things Beamer/Latex is just
as easy.
A BIG problem with the current Beamer is its inability to easily (by
mere mortals) configure templates, or even determine the location of an
institutional logo. This is trivial to do with PowerPoint, and is a
real pain with Beamer.

Personally, when I do Beamer, I do it from LaTeX without benefit of LyX. I
find that much simpler. Your mileage may vary.
I wrote an article on doing Beamer straight from LaTeX here:

Interesting. I originally made my presentation (40-odd pages) in
Latex-Beamer, but recently remade it using Lyx-Beamer. I found the Lyx
version easier once I'd got used to it. The big advantage for me is that
I can continuously monitor the appearance of my slides as I write them.
