I deal with many different types of projects every day. I echo what everyone else has said here, Articulate is great for simple and quick stuff. I've been modding it as well to do more advanced stuff recently as well. But at the end of the day, Lectora allows you to do so much more, and has the flexibility to free you and work in a more collaborative environment.
Articulate is nice because it works with PPT, but it has all the downsides of PPT as well. Trying working on 1 file over a network with multiple people (at different times, different computers)in Articulate, links break, have to redo work. Lectora on the other hand handles it nicely, so we can have multiple people help on a project. (one of my pet peeves with PPT)
