i have one of these and like it. the depth gauge makes it easy to cut through sheetrock and not have to worry about anything on the other side of the wall (electrical, plumbing, etc.)
I want it, but I'm not going to buy it. I even have a job coming up where I could use it to cut a couple holes for a speaker in some drywall. But I have a hand saw that will do well enough.
Just wanted to share that I'm actually demonstrating some willpower today. Lol.

do you think this would be a good replacement for the "multitool" for cutting drywall? or is the multitool more versitale?

this is rotary only - just like a dremel tool. The multitool has different heads that can be used on it, and the head that comes with it uses vibrations to cut faster and larger cuts.

An oscillating tool (AKA multi-tool, AKA Multimaster tool) is more versatile. Once you cut holes for old work boxes with an oscillating tool you will never go back to this or a jab saw.

I have this and bought it for $50 when remodelling my bathroom. I would say that unless you have a lot of drywall cut outs (for electrical boxes and pipes etc) that it would be better to just use a jab saw. The tips can break easily if you run into a stud, electrical box etc which is hard to avoid especially using it without a lot of practice. This is also the most dusty way to do cutouts and the dust flys the farthest because of how fine it is and the rotary action as compared to a jab saw where it mostly falls straight down. For the last few cutouts I just switched back to a jab saw though it takes more time for the above reasons.

Looks like it's mainly good for cutting drywall
This is closer to a scroll saw than a jig saw.
dremel is a brand.
