Almost everyone thinks Ksnip is a great Greenshot alternative.

Greenshot is not maintained anymore, no new release for several years.

Ksnip has all the features in needed from Greenshot, and isn't running on a bloated electron engine, but on QT5

It is almost as easy to add rectangles, arrows, lines and text to a screenshot and even to any image already existing.
