Those are pretty much the most robust tools for the
job. SnagIt completely automates the screen capture
process, grabing multiple shots per session,
automatically converting them to your target format
(while performing whatever compression and other
operations you tell it to) and even naming the file
using a configured convention and saving it to disk.
Once you set it up, you can just use it and allow it
to do all the dirty work. As for Illustrator, it's
quite powerful as well, and will let you create very
intricate diagrams and illustrations.
I guess my question is:
Why do you feel these tools are inadequate and what
are you looking for?
