Heh, have you tried any of the video editors on Linux?

I don't mind using multiple different apps for different things. That
kinda makes sense in a way. If a video editor tried to be an audio
editor it might end up being crap at both. At least on Linux we have
tools like Avidemux and Audacity which are "good enough". 

I wonder if enough people got a few quid together we could sponsor the
development of a decent non-linear video editor? I'd certainly put my
hand in my pocket for it.

Cheers,
Al.
