New Snipping Tool in Windows 11 is complete and absolute garbage

Please bring back Windows 10 snipping tool. I use 2 additional monitors with laptop and can only use on 2 of the screens. You can not simply grab the area of the screen as you could on previous version - any screen! Previous version was incredibly simple and this new version is incredibly cumbersome to use - requires unnecessary editing which previous versions did not. This new App seriously sucks...bad!

    Windows 11 has integrated the Snipping Tool, but Snip & Sketch might still be functional and more familiar.

    You can access the older snipping functionalities via "Snip & Sketch" by pressing Windows + Shift + S. This shortcut still provides a quick way to capture snippets, and it supports multi-monitor setups better than the new app.
