I use LICEcap fairly extensively when answering questions on stackexchangeStack Exchange - its a VERY intuitive tool for making gif-based screen captures

LINEcap gif example

You open the application, select an area to record, choose a filename to save it, and do your thing so it can record.

However, this is Windows and OS X only - I've occasionally toyed with using a Linux VM and capturing the VM window, but I'd like a native alternative that would record a gif the same way.

What could I use?
