I wouldn't go so far as to say that either "eats nasty ass" - they're both good products. Captivate has some advantages. It doesn't force you to download one big honking SWF file containing all your content. Instead, it generates individual SWFs per piece of content, and uses the same preloading mechanism that Adobe Presenter uses to download a few pieces of content while you're viewing one. It lets you build things other than just demos. Simulations, for example. It also lets you more easily generate matching printed documentation, in my experience. Camtasia Studio has other advantages, such as the ability to generate multiple output formats. Both are available as trial downloads. You should check them both out, and see what you prefer.
