The Articulate Studio has been incredibly popular and some developers have achieved impressive results. You can build templates and themes and share these between projects and developers. It exports to HTML 5 as well as Flash, although I'm not sure they've perfected this yet. I think there are photo-based characters as well.

As a developer, the single biggest flaw I have experienced with any testing and reporting methods is the disconnect between the tested project and the feedback given by the testers. When a project is ready for testing the developer can publish the project as a review app. Adobe Captivate 4 addresses this in a wonderful way.
