In all honesty, it is much more limited than Beamer.

Thomas and I have been discussing how to modularize the simpleslides 
module for almost two years now, complex slides incorporates some of those 
ideas but some details are still missing.

I do use the module for my presentations, but it does not have all the 
features needed for Thomas's presentations. So, it is in extremely 
preliminary stage and the interface and the backend are bound to change. 
It is for that reason that I have not released it. There is no fixed 
roadmap. This is a very time comsuming project, and Thomas and I work on 
it when we get some time or an itch to scratch. So, right now there is no 
roadmap for release.

We will be releasing parts of the module as they are ready. The first part 
is the visual counter module https://github.com/adityam/visualcounter 
which is ready to be released one I finish the documentation: 
https://github.com/adityam/visualcounter/blob/master/visualcounter.tex

I also have a "backgrounds" module in mind, which will be a collection of 
different frame backgrounds. This can be combined with Wolfgang's 
annotation module to have a more flexible implementation of the beamer 
block environment.
