I started using Camtasia in the early 20 teens. It was a struggle because I was new to learning tools like this. I have used others, but remained with Camtasia. When updated versions came out they did not interrupt my ability to work or cause problems as updates can sometimes do. The tutorials make learning easy as they are clear and concise. And there are many of them!
Pros
Ease of use always!!! Even if I don’t use it for awhile when I return to using it there’s no huge learning barrier to become reacquainted.
Second would be price. It was not cost prohibitive like some others.
Cons
I don’t have anything. There are no dislikes from me.

I've made demo videos of software in under a day with Camtasia. Editing them and adding callouts is a breeze.
Pros
It's optimized for creating videos in which screen recordings of software usage predominate.
Cons
Little things, like the inability to reverse a clip (i.e. play it backwards on the timeline). The ability to export the audio to an external program, edit it there, then bring it back in, would be amazing too.

I am only somewhat pleased with this product. The platform is good but the functionality is lacking greatly. Lots of bugs in the system that need repaired for it to work to the level of cost. Must say i am disappointed.
Pros
The ease of pulling in and adding content for creation. Its not hard to use and tutorials help if needed.
Cons
Lag time during creation. This software has horrible lag when moving videos into the creation bar and when you try to use playback to edit. This creates frustration during editing as it takes much longer to create your content. I feel for the price of this product this bug should have been resolved by now. Also the list of additional content has been reduced greatly in the 2023 version.
