The windows snipping tool is OK for capturing a piece of a current screen and you can do a bit of drawing on it now but it pales badly compared to snag-it. If you don't need what it does then you're good. But the delay the snag timer for one is awesome for doing presentations. It also has vastly more ability to add notes, boxes, arrows, etc and to trim in many ways. It has other image edit capability as well.

Curiously, having never used GIMP, I googled it. The very first entry that google brought up for me was a user with Snagit at the office and was struggling with what GIMP wouldn't do for him at home.

As usual, missing features that you don't use, don't matter! When you need them, then it's a problem!

*shrug* Doesn't appear to do anything that the screen capture functionality of GIMP doesn't do. And I seem to recall that both Mac and WinDoze have a built-in screen capture (maybe Linux, too), although I can't recall ever using it.
