Pros
Pro Can quickly add rectangles or draw notes
Using the control-button, you're able to draw red rectangles on the screenshot to emphasize something and you're also able to draw freely to quickly highlight or add notes.
Pro Very intuitive to use
You just have to hit the PrtScr-button on your keyboard, click once if you want to capture your entire screen, or use the shift-key to select a certain rectangular area you want to screenshot. You can also use the cursor to screenshot a very specific freely drawn shape.
Pro Includes an image editor
Allows you to adjust the capture, add captions and symbols (arrows, boxes etc).
Pro Good markers for setting the capture area
Simple to choose between full-screen, window or a selected area.
Pro Can easily add annotations
The editor allows you to quickly and easily mark and annotate the screen capture.
Pro Can capture screen video
Pro Integrates with third party services
Google drive, Twitter, Facebook, email etc.
Pro Allows for delayed capture
Allows you to arrange the screen as you want it captured. Things like opening a popup menu, to have it part of the capture.
Pro Can capture editable text
Just about any text on the screen can be editable text. I say "just about" because it's like OCR software in that unusual and extra fancy fonts or text against a low contrast background may be a challenge. But overall it works in most situations.
