I use Cinelerra in Linux.  It's actually pretty good, but there are some 
really annoying things it does and doesn't do.  Fortunately, I can just 
go in and change them.  Then I make a diff of it, and can mail that off 
to the "real" developers.

I don't mind clunky and uncomfortable if I can fix it myself.
