People very often use Linux as shorthand for Linux distribution... which has more to it than the Linux kernel.

And they kind of need to be reminded what Linux is..

If people start clamoring Linus to descend from heavens and bring us video editing, it's just a silly as what grandparent referred to.

I see this might be viewed as pedantic, but Linux is not a distro you used.

Additionally Linux does have Blender with support for video editing, which from what I've heard was used to make Sintel and other movies.

Blender is a 3D computer graphics, and video editing is just one of its many features, its hard to learn Blender just to edit a video. A video editing software should be easier to use and have more features.

I agree that blender is not the most straightforward bit of software, however I don't find it has a lack of features.
