I'll suggest the gain over the past is in regard to other than, actual, screen shots specifically or exclusively. Yes, they will auto save to the Screen shots folder. But, where things like Snip & Sketch, Web capture & "Smart copy" change the scenario
is being able to select a particular bit from wherever... and offering 4 Modes for this: Rectangle, Free-form, Window & Full screen. Caveat is these 'tools' take the functionality & abilities much, much further than Screen shots.
Yes, the 'new' bit just streamlines/simplifies part of the process, so in a way not a big deal, but that's because S&S, Web capture and Smart copy already exist. So just a nice addition to what we already had or have.
And I may be repeating myself (oops, sorry), but fits the moment... This so-called (new) "Smart copy"... this (Ctrl+Shift+S) can be used on any web page, even right here. It
turns the cursor into a + sign ready to grab whatever image & or text you want, and
then can do what you please with the piece you took; including drop it in a folder 😉😊. Handy, slick &
simple easy. 👍👍
