The option to edit like in paint, doesn't exist with snipping tool. My other machines do have that, I found.
So I tried it, and if you have no editing to do it is quite useful.

I actually use gimp or ps if I really want to edit actual pictures, but paint is so easy. If you set the image size to largest you can combine multiple screen shots into one smaller image, add words as above, or type onto League table, or shapes like arrows.
