Been using Kdenlive for everything for years now and it's really feeling great now. There are a few quirks you need to learn but generally it's quite simple and intuitive with a huge community and most big LLMs can guide you through the processes!
This of course is most likely a skill issue at my part but it really feels to me like kdenlive is getting in the way of my flow much less than davinci
Very nice color options though, that part is hard to beat
