i always used premiere pro but if you think about it, from a purely cutting standpoint, you dont need much more than soft/hard cuts and the ability to time the music accordingly. and i bet that every program can do that.
fancy effects, triangle/circle/checkboard transitions or other stuff are kinda fucked anyway.
for 99% of people on this site. movie maker is more than enough imo. try using more than 20% of premiere and come back at me if you think youre "so good" or whatever (not op, but general "artists" around here)
