Personally I use Darktable which is probably a bit overkill for what you need. My next thought was Inkscape which is often recommended but having a play around with it, it doesn't seem very intuitive. What I would suggest you have a look at is Fotoxx. Seems to do all you ask and pretty simple to use with a small footprint.

Probably 90% of my image work is taking an image (maybe a screenshot or photo), making some very basic changes like rotate, crop, scale (usually to reduce filesize), and saving it.
I seem to have a collection of tools which view only (like EoG) but load instantly on minimal resources, and sophisticated apps like GIMP which will do anything I might ever need but more slowly.
What's a good app for every-day image stuff like this?
I'd accept - and even quite like - a few extra bells, like highlighting/blurring/annotating, as long as it doesn't become cumbersome to use or slow to load.

Take a look at simple image reducer.
