The great thing about Shottr vs system screenshots is the annotations you can put up very quickly. E.g.

1. $hotkey for screenshot 3. Hit enter to edit 4. Press A to draw an arrow with the mouse 5. Cmd-c to dismiss the edit window and copy & paste wherever.

So it basically only takes as long as you take to click down an arrow with your mouse

Side note - shift-command-1 ejected the floppy in disk drive one, shift-command-2 ejected the floppy in disk drive two and thus screen shot landed on shift-command-3 I remember when I got my second floppy drive and thought I was living the high life not having to swap disks!
I usually use Markup for drawing on screenshots. It's not a rich as Shottr, but I'm usually just drawing a box around something or making an arrow to draw someone's attention.
