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.

Cons
Con No blur function
Some screen capture tools offer the option to blur parts of the image to hide sensitive info. It would be great if Lightshot did the same.
Con Cannot change the size of the text
There seems to be no way to make the text bigger or smaller when writing on the screen capture, which is a huge minus compared to MonoSnap.
Con No publicly available license
No publicly available license and inquiries to the developer were not responded to.
