    Very easy to use, never any drama. Very configurable. Doesn't have annotation features if I remember right but for screenshooting and outputting to any location with custom/incremental filenames it's just great.

    This is probably the best screenshot editor. You can add multiple screenshots to the same working area and connect them. Great annotation tools. And it's free.

    Awesome Screenshot doesn't force you sync with their company's server like Skitch. But their viewer and annotation tools could be better.
