That's exactly what I doubt (again - professionals and semi-pros aside).
People associate video editing with Final Cut Pro or Premiere. Image editing? Photoshop! Recording, editing and mixing - Pro Logic or Cubase of course!
Is it because the vast majority of hobbyists and occasional users need the features these packages offer? No! It's because "the pros" use it and therefore it has to be good and what I need. It's because these are names that pop up when I search the internet. It's because that's what the tutorials on YT use.
Nobody needs Photoshop to crop an image, to do some quick colour correction, make a collage or a meme.
You don't need Pro Logic to do a podcast or edit a recording of your daughter's garage band.
Premiere and AfterEffects are overkill times 20 for editing the footage of your brother's wedding shot on a variety of smartphones, etc.
Sure, some users may want move on from the likes of Kdenlive, Krita, Inkscape, Gimp, Ardour or Reaper at some point. For the average user, however, lack of functionality or workflow support is not the problem.
