I'd be interested to hear what people's most important values are when choosing an authoring tool. What makes an authoring tool great? (e.g. HTML5 and Flash publication)
Good question. What I think is most important to me, in random order, is:
The tool has to be intuitive, easy to work with. If it is a challenge to get things done, I won't use it.
The tool has to meet my needs and ideally beyond so it can grow with me as my skills grow.
The tool has the be a high quality and industry standard product. This way I know that they'll evolve with the industry and can be used to develop training materials internally as well as externally.
The tool has to have good support as you are bound to into some issues

Easy in 508 compliance.. SL makes it a very low priority. It take me 25-30% of the development time when other tools make it 5%.
