For example, I can capture an application window but then I want to add arrows with the a short text in round or oval shapes. For example, the text in a shape would say "1 - enter ID", "2 - Click this button", and so on. Snipping tool has a pen or a highlighter but I can't make straight lines or round shapes with it.

None of this is true for GreenShot as far as I know (and options 3 and for are not even a problem!), and the same applies to a multitude of OpenSource projects...
