I was quite excited when I read the headline as the number of video editors are pretty limited for Linux. However, I was disappointed when I visited the website to read that it is still is alpha.

Can a product claim to be professional when it is still in alpha?

By the way, congrats on launching!

"Professional" distinguishes the target audience and use cases; a professional NLE video editor that isn't done yet is different from a lightweight personal video editor that's close to feature-complete.
