Comments about Flameshot as an Alternative to ShareX
In my experience, Flameshot has worked far quicker than ShareX. While ShareX does have more features, Flameshot works well as an alternative if you only require a good screenshot tool.
Can't record videos, no global shortcut. ShareX has a lot of great miscellaneous tools (like OCR, color detection). Doesn't automatically suggest a screenshot region based on windows.
Flameshot does have features in ShareX that streamline the process of taking a lot of screenshots (Hotkeys for different screenshot types, selecting a specific window, and automatically saving the screenshot to a file).
It is fine as a simple screenshot tool but does not compare to a more robust solution like ShareX, where speed is paramount.
