Had this experience too. Played around with Shotcut and OpenShot, really wanted them to be better just because the name 'Kdenlive' is annoying. But alas, the latter seemed easier to work with.

It's open source, so the name has to be a diaper fire. It's an acronym, it stands for Kool Desktop Environment Non LInear Video Editor.
