I used it for awhile, but there are a lot of short comings. It's very unintuitive and I would often spend more time trying to figure out how to do a thing than doing a thing. I switched to DaVinci Resolve (also free), and never looked back. I eventually spent the one time payment of around $300 for access to GPU accelerated encoding and a few additional filters and stuff.

Resolve is free as beer, but Shotcut is free as speech. Know the difference.

Yes I'm aware :). Notice I didn't say, "DaVinci (also free OSS)". I wasn't trying to mislead anyone, but I feel like OSS can sometimes be overhyped just because it's Open Source. Not all closed source software is bad (pretty much every major game is closed source), and not all OSS is good.
