Are OpenShot and/or Shotcut good video editors? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Apologies if this sounds silly but i was wondering if openshot or shotcut are good video editors especially for someone starting out on video editing for the first time, the type of videos i might plan on making is either general gaming videos or YTPs (hopefully y'all know what that is).

I have also considered kdenlive and davinci resolve aswell (i will not discuss davinci since that ain't open source).

Out of curiosity, i was also wondering y'alls thoughts on shotcut or openshot (and probably kdenlive).

I'll be waiting for responses, Thanks!

I've used Shotcut and Kdenlive. The former felt pretty limited, but okay enough. Kdenlive felt a lot more developed while still working perfectly well. I should note though that I don't edit very much at all, so I've little knowledge on how either program works for anything that isn't a simple, short one-off thing.
