Nobody, you seemed to miss his point, a point about which he is correct.
There is a fallacy in your reply, the fact that you do not understand
does not indicate anything about his knowledge of the subject. In
addition, snippy replies (which we all see) don't encourage others to
offer help.

Actually, your question wasn't crafted in a manner to obtain the best
answers and, from the begining, is one that often degenerates into
another, 'my favorite program is best', debate. For more information
about asking effective questions in newsgroups please see:

When I read your question I wonder who the "we" to which you refer is
supposed to be. I am also not sure what you mean by "intuitive", people
oftem mean 'easy for me to learn' by that but, as people's experience and
training and intelligence differ, easy to learn is relative. An example: A
lot of times people coming from a Windows background find that the
differences in open source software are hard for them at first. That is
not necessarily because pushing the "start" button in order to shut down
the computer is more intuitive, just that it is more familiar. Admittedly,
that was a bit of an extreme example to make the point.

You probably want me to shut up too since I am not answering your question
but, as advice, I would suggest asking in one of the video newsgroups.
Probably a lot more video editing experts hanging out there.
