it runs greenshot for image editing but has slew of numerous features layered on top of it, including gif support, uploading host support, scroll captures, OCR recognition, etc
shareX is like greenshot 2.0
POST UPDATE 1/1/18
Greenshot standalone is starting to incorporate a lot of shareX features, I use both a standalone greenshot and sharex+portable-green-shot editor right now, depending on what I'm doing. I customize shareX extensively, greenshot I use all default values out of the box since the defaults are great

I find it better than ShareX since it's lightweight and does not consume as much RAM as a background process. Also very easy to use.
Works flawless since years. I would love to see an update (last in 2017), but if it works, it works.
Simple. Very much like how I can configure the keyboard shortcuts and set the output destination. Donationware (at least on Windows). Other software may provide more but all I needed was what Greenshot provides.
Greenshot does not capture scrolling iframes.
It has changed my life. Not joking.
