Neil,
I tried Elements the other day as well to demonstrate it at a club.
It does everything 99% of amateurs (hobby video makers) need.
You can obviously not compare it with PP but it is understandable
that amateurs would never spend the money PP would cost them,
which in many instances would be more than they paid for their camera.
In addition you need the other programs like Encore etc, whereas
Elements takes you through the complete job, from capturing to exporting
and burning a DVD or BR disc.
Don't know how much time you spent using PE but I found that many functions
work exactly like in PP and I don't think it is all that laborious and
remember
amateurs are prepared to spend more time on a job than pros.
They make videos to enjoy themselves - professionals have to make money.
