FYI, I use decksh [1][2] a DSL (aka "little language") for decks, information displays and charts decksh generates deck[3] markup that is rendered as PDF, SVG, or PNG.

Re: #2, use
"buffer_font_weight": 600
in the settings.json to fix the font rendering.

Not a GUI, per se, but there is decksh [1] and dchart: [2]

I use pdfdeck, a client of the Deck package [1,2]. Samples [3,4]
pdfdeck reads deck markup, and generates the PDF. The markup is created by hand or generated by other programs, for example the dchart [5,6] client.
I tend to avoid templates and work from a blank canvas.

I used this library to build the PDF client[1] for the deck [2] Go package. Here are some examples [3, 4, 5]

Here is a Go library for SVG generation:
https://github.com/ajstarks/svgo https://speakerdeck.com/ajstarks/svgo-code-plus-picture-exam...
An alternative to to hand-written SVG is to use a (Go) library like svgo [1] to generate the markup programmatically. More info is also at [2] and [3]

I use the deck package [1, 2, 3], and the pdfdeck[4] client. As stated earlier, using PDFs simplifies both presenting and distribution.
The deck packages uses a simplified markup that is portable, easy to machine-generate, facilitates source control, and not locked to a vendor.

If Go is your thing, consider SVGo (http://github.com/ajstarks/svgo). For samples, see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajstarks/sets/72157623441699483...
I created SVGo, a Go package for generating SVG. (http://github.com/ajstarks/svgo) I use it for programming visualizations, and other creative coding tasks. For example, I use the goplay command and a browser, to "sketch with code", showing the code and resulting picture in one view -- I make a change, hit a keystroke and immediately see the result.

Looking at the SVG source, the notes are rendered using <path> -- I'm wondering if higher level objects could be used like lines and ellipses
