I'd like something that is as simple, lightweight and fluid. I don't need to create a file, take it to an editor and mock it up further.

Once I've completed the first grab, it goes into a lightweight editor where I can highlight, draw boxes, add arrows or notes to the shot and only after that do I start to get questions about saving. What are you using for screenshots? What I love about Jing are opens with crosshairs and immediately I can do a drag window to capture a screenshot, but it intuits windows and dialog boxes so if I mouse over the title bar it will just grab that whole box instead of making me drag-select. I'm looking for a good screenshot software. but that is needlessly complicated and resource-intensive. The average overall ratings is 4.0 / 5 stars. The folks at Techsmith are NOT going to update it, suggesting folks use SnagIt instead. Jing, or TechSmith Capture, is a screen recording program that was designed to be able to take snapshots of whatevers on your desktop, or to record actual live. I've used Jing for its entire life and prefer it for its simple yet robust screenshotting software.

I see currently on the chopping block for me are Textmate (easily replaced) and Jing. While I don't plan to go Catalina beta, I do keep testing the installer to see what stuff is going to die.
