Comments about Shutter as an Alternative to Snagit
Top Positive CommentpablobianchiAt least on Linux is, stable, on official repos of main distros and with a lot of useful features... and is indeed currently active!
Top Negative CommentWith SnagIt you can remove sections from anywhere in the image, close the orphaned parts together to remake the whole, strip out, reduce top,sides,bottom to make a new size, all in the one session. With shutter all you have is crop!
Most Recent Commentr0npumaSnagIt is the best. Unfortunately only works with windows and osx. Shutter has the x11 limitation which is unfortunate as I use Wayland. Also I have to use a screenshot tool with anotations and markup mulitple times a day. Shutter unfortunately doesn't come close. Devs please add wayland support and also checkup snaggit for implementation ideas.
51 Ksnip alternativesKsnip is a Qt based cross-platform screenshot tool that provides many annotation features for your screenshots.

It is not as powerful as snagit, but the most common features it has - for me a perfect fit.

ScreenRec VS Snagit
If you're looking to make "8x10 glossy photograph with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each", it can't be beat. Lightweight, does its job, gets out of the way quick.
