And if you're an emacs user there's https://github.com/yjwen/org-reveal/ to make the whole process a little easier using org mode.

Same. I've used that combination for all the presentations I've given since starting at $CURRENT_JOB late in 2015, and have received nothing but compliments on same. I was a little concerned about getting "why didn't you use PowerPoint?" and the like, and prepared to respond with several substantive reasons (not least of which is how much faster org-reveal is!), but it didn't even come up.

When presenting code, Spectacle [1] i.c.w. spectacle-code-slide [2] is pretty sweet, although a bit messy to set up (but that's true for revealjs as well).

It's the only one I know of that supports speaker notes. You can actually use it on two screens.

Same. I like it so much I pay for his commercial offering, http://slides.com - which has a bunch of neat extra functionality

reveal.js + pandoc + some customization is what I'm sitting at right now. While I like it a lot, I could imagine that reveal.js's default layout isn't suitable for presentations with lots of details. Also haven't figured out how to jump to a particular slide.

I'm fairly sure that reveal.js URLs are hackable... the slide number is added to the URL as an anchor. Setting that in your URL bar might be a simple way to jump around to various slides. Also, ESC brings up a slide map that you can jump around on.
e.g. http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/2
