And until it's ready, don't forget Blender makes a very powerful video editor.

Has anyone here used it for video editing? I had initially thought about using Blender because it's been around a long time and seems to be pretty popular and serious. But what I've heard about it was always in reference to 3D capabilities so it wasn't clear to me that it was the right choice if I was only doing video editing tasks.

I mean, I've seen Captain Disillusion's "Worlds Greatest Blenderer" presentation, and I love his work which seems to be largely done in Blender. But he does a ton of 3D stuff, and he's way, way better than I'll ever be. I'm pretty sure he works in the industry. If you haven't seen his stuff on Youtube, it's one of my and my kids favorite channels and he's been doing it for a decade.

I've been using KDenLive and it's quite competent for what it is.
