Is there an advantage to using the enumerate package over the enumitem package or vice versa? I use enumitem and my co-worker uses enumerate, and we're trying to decide which should be used when we collaborate.
[Tex/LaTex] What’s the difference between the enumerate and enumitem packages
#enumerateenumitempackages

- Don't load
inputencorfontencmanually; use UTF-8 input and thefontspecpackage instead - Don't load the
textcomppackage; if you want macros to enter varios symbols, load thexunicodepackage (EDIT BY LOCKSTEP: According to Ulrike Fischer, "[i]n a current system you don't need to loadxunicodeat all,fontspecwill do it at the correct place") - Use
polyglossiainstead ofbabel - For OpenType math support, use
unicode-mathinstead ofamsfonts/amssymbetc. (butamsmathcan/should still be used). - The
xltxtrapackage isn't necessary any more
Everything in this list is probably valid for LuaLaTeX, too, with the exception of xunicode, which requires XeTeX.
I would suggest not to use enumitem with beamer, since this combination could produce more damages than benefits. Take for example the code given in the answer you linked to in your question:
\documentclass[12pt]{beamer}
\usetheme{Singapore}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setenumerate[1]{%
label=\protect\usebeamerfont{enumerate item}%
\protect\usebeamercolor[fg]{enumerate item}%
\insertenumlabel.}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{enumerate}
\item First item
\item Second item
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
This code works and apparently everything it's OK, but something this code "hides" is that now enumerate is not overlay-aware and this is a serious drawback; adding the typical overlay specification
\documentclass[12pt]{beamer}
\usetheme{Singapore}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setenumerate[1]{%
label=\protect\usebeamerfont{enumerate item}%
\protect\usebeamercolor[fg]{enumerate item}%
\insertenumlabel.}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{enumerate}[<+->]
\item First item
\item Second item
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
you get the error message
! Package enumitem Error: <+-> undefined.
See the enumitem package documentation for explanation. Type H <return> for immediate help. ...
l.14 \end{frame}
If you want to customize the list-like environments, you can do it by redefining the corresponding elements as they are defined in beamer. For example, the definitions for the enumerate item template for each one of the predefined options (default, ball, circle, square) can be found in the file beamerbaseauxtemplates.sty. You can then change this definitions according to your needs; a little example, increasing the size of the circle and adding a final dot after the label of the enumeration:
\documentclass[12pt]{beamer}
\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{enumerate item}
{
\begin{pgfpicture}{-1ex}{-0.65ex}{1ex}{1ex}
\usebeamercolor[fg]{item projected}
{\pgftransformscale{2}\pgftext{\normalsize\pgfuseshading{bigsphere}}}
{\pgftransformshift{\pgfpoint{0pt}{0.5pt}}
\pgftext{\usebeamerfont*{item projected}\insertenumlabel.}}
\end{pgfpicture}%
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{enumerate}
\item First item
\item Second item
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
