If the product has to TELL you up front that it has a "beautiful and intuitive user interface", it likely doesn't.

And the Tour page has a screenshot of the application titled "Stunning Elegance", where it does a great job of mostly looking the same as any desktop app developed in the last 10 years -- full of shades of grey, plain, no menus.

As a cherry on top, it is described as "Easy to learn. Exciting to master", which is getting so far out there into marketing land that my spidey senses tell me to stay far away.

i have used it. it is easy to learn. certainly no worse than the alternatives.

i get your criticism. but i see that very often. most projects just don't know how to present their apps in a good way. it seems like we are trying to describe apps in ways that we think non-tech people would expect, but we are failing.

That was also my impresion. The first thought: where is the menu. Maybe this little "..." thrown on the (supposed) title bar.

No screenshots, gray on gray, no system requirements page, no easily to find instalation instructions. No mention of which GTk version it needs.

Yep, seeing them use "stunning elegance" to describe their own work was very off-putting.

Even if it were justified, it would've still come across as very cocky and cringe-y.

The part about "clean codebase" doesn't really help raising confidence either ;).

It Looks like a Camtasia ripoff imho.

Camtasia has a great interface, so not surprised that it is trying to copy it.

However just by the look of the screenshot, I can see plenty of features in camtasia 6 that are not present in Pitivi.
