Storyline 2 is leaps and bounds above the completion when it comes to learning the tool for the first time. Couple the familiar look and feel of PowerPoint with a supportive community who publishes videos, articles, challenges and templates daily and it is hard not to get going within the first week. While updates and new features are slow coming, anything released seems to come with minor issues and points of irritation. The ability to view content in both linear and branched views if very handy when creating complex material. Simulations are easy to create, page items can easily be animated, and output is smooth. Having a visible timeline, is a highly desirable trait. This allows viewing of tracks for each item which helps to show when each item appear helping to visualize what your page will look like without constantly previewing it. Need to move forward on a page after a certain number of items are clicked then variables are here to help. Combing all these factors makes development time drastically less than the competition.
