Two programs instead of one?
Isn't there any all-in-one film editing program?

Stop thinking like a Windows or Mac user.  Here we use the right tool

excel at their task.

At the end of the day does it really matter?  I know that I care about
getting the job done.

Closed source applications have the tendency to close the door to other
products so that users aren't free to choose the best tool from other
vendors for the job.

Linux developers, on the other hand, favor interoperability at a high
degree. The audio routing system is a major example: you can chain audio
application so that a signal can flow from an an app to the other
freely, with enormous flexibility.

The same applies to video, text, command outputs and so on. You can pipe
data at your wish, filter it, elaborate it through the best tools
around.

Having to use more than an application is not a weakness: it's added
value.

For some users: "Simplicity is the name of the game". I mean: "I do not want to be a programmer or  a software expert to take advantage of a computer. In those terms, I prefer a "wizard" that helps me to a quick start in a home video production instead to study days or months to become an expert in a specialized tool and... continue to study to become an an expert in an other specialized tool and so on.. to get the job done."

I do not deny --if video is my hobby-- I will take that path (and very interested in learning in all related tools --that is the reason I am here--) and I agree with Gustin and Sergio. But, if you are a beginner or you have little time to get the job done, a "good-enough-tool" that does all-in-one probably is the best solution. I did this comment because for a beginner in Linux (like me) it is very hard the first steps when you come from a "few-clicks-world" to get the job done.
