I used open shot quite a bit years ago for YouTube content creation. It is approximately a million times easier to use than pretty much any other video editor but back then it was slow and crashy to the point of frustration. I just gave 2.5.0 a try and sometimes it was a little slow and stuttery at times but I managed to edit a fairly simple video with it.

The GPU acceleration feature is pretty nice. On my dated machine, encoding a 1080p MP4 on an integrated Intel video chip is a little more than twice as fast as hammering all 4 of my CPU cores. (Effectively rendering in real time.)
