I had the total opposite reaction to Vegas. I found it counter-intuitive and frustrating to the point where I wanted to kick anybody responsible for developing it. I'm hyper computer literate, I've had a computer all my life (now I have 4, running various flavours of Linux and Windows), I work at a web startup. Admittedly, I hit Vegas with a pretty strong bias for Premiere (which I was already used to), perhaps if I'd tried it without any previous expectations about where functionality should be found I might have picked it up faster. Speaking of Premiere, I'll second the comment that most people only need Premiere Elements. It's around 1/10th the cost, and has all the functionality that most videobloggers will need. Nox It's fast and it's easy.
