I've been an enthusiastic Evernote user for a long time and while working with screenshots realized that Skitch would be helpful. I went to download it but discovered that it is only available through the Mac App Store. I am avoiding using the Mac App Store for anything but Apple products as I do not like the way Apple uses its app stores to control what runs on Apple devices. On iOS they blocked competing programs as well as ones with a political message. On the Mac App Store Evernote lacks some useful features in the regular version, such as the ability to print pages to the program. This is due to Apple rules, and shows how Apple app stores make things worse for users. I know Skitch is free and cheap distribution is desirable, but it would be great if it were available through a less restrictive distribution method.

Right here:

get.skitch.com/skitch.zip

Is there any difference between Skitch 1.0.7 in the Mac App Store and the zip file downloaded from the Skitch website?

Not presently, no, this is the same Skitch for Mac you know and love.
