Camtasia Studio exports to Flash (swf & flv), QuickTime, WMV, Real, and more? Flash export alone gives you a ubiquitous cross-platform delivery format, so what's the issue?

Definite downer — hadn’t seen that and was figuring most of the output options would be more open format.

Whoops — meant to say ‘indispensable’ not ‘indefensible’ — I’m such a dork!

I use Camtasia, but I've been learning Adobe Captivate in the past several weeks and I'm finding it in many ways superior to Camtasia, especially in that it allows for the (relatively) easy creation of software simulations as well as demonstrations. I'm also impressed with the file sizes and simplicity of the (SWF-based) output: one SWF file + one really simple XHTML file. What's your complaint with the pan-and-zoom feature?
