In terms of things I think Cinelerra needs to improve on –
Interface
I don’t actually think this is a really big deal.Sure a more attractive 
interface would be a bonus, but honestly I thinka reskin on the level of what 
Cinecutie did is adequate.

I agree.  At least in the short term.
And that is pretty low hanging fruit.


Transitions
I come down firmly on the side of not transitioning between tracksby default – 
I like the way transitions are displayed now. It would be nice if they could be 
“dragged” to increase or decreaselength rather than right-clicking and manually 
assigning a length,

There is another snag with transitions: They are applied _before_
the effects.  If you have applied some different colour and contrast
effects to scene A and scene B, then add a transition between them,
then scene A will "snap" to raw and uncorrected when the transitions
starts.  Making transitons "post-effect" would likely be a rather
invasive change.  But it's the only way to make grading and transitions
in one pass, with acceptable results.


Functionality
Finally, but probably most importantly, some words on generalfunctionality.  I 
am actually pretty happy overall with Cinelerraand its capabilities.  I think 
the most glaring absence is thenested sequences feature –

Yes!  It's direly needed for larger projects.
