It's excellent! I think it has the potential to go the way of Blender and Krita, where it becomes the popular choice regardless of free / open source

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

I am using it to edit some home videos and it’s great so far. The only issue I have with it is the documentation; at best it’s outdated, and at worst it doesn’t exists at all
Projects always struggle with this—development is always miles ahead. But, hey, look on the bright side: it's a great way to contribute back.
it still doesn't have hardware acceleration, does it? it crawls doing anything intensive.
It does have GPU acceleration but you might have to enable it in the settings
How does it hold up against Davnci Resolve?
It's free. Go try it for yourself. There's nobody better than you to see if it adapts well to your workflow and projects.
We are comparing Kdenlive, an advance open source video editor maintained by KDE to a proprietary video editor maintained by Blackmagic Design that requires a video card? To use the advance features you need to buy DaVinci Resolve Studio for $325.
@TempermentalAnomaly @mao To make it a fair comparison, we should be comparing Kdenlive to open source software like Shotcut or Flowblade, not proprietary software like DaVinci Resolve.
