I taught my 10 year old son how to use this because he wanted more than iMovie.

He loves learning how to use effects and titles, creating lots of cuts, and intercutting between different tracks. He even did some lightweight animation using it.

It's the most similar to the old-school feel of Premiere and Final Cut, and has given him a great foundation in non-linear editing and 2 years later he absolutely flies in it!

This is probably the best /advertisement/ of a product. If a 10yo can do things in it - then (at least) it has the UI what is understandable even to 10yo, for a pretty convoluted process of a non-linear editing.
