Cons
1. Limited functionality: The Snipping Tool lacks advanced editing options such as cropping, resizing, and adding annotations, limiting its use for more complex editing tasks.
2. No delayed capture: Unlike other similar tools, the Snipping Tool does not provide an option for delayed captures, making it difficult to capture time-sensitive content or menus that require additional steps.
3. Windows exclusivity: As a built-in tool for Windows operating systems, the Snipping Tool is not available for use on Mac or Linux platforms, restricting its accessibility for users of other operating systems.
