Been using Kdenlive for everything for years now and it's really feeling great now. There are a few quirks you need to learn but generally it's quite simple and intuitive with a huge community and most big LLMs can guide you through the processes!
I recently ( a few months ago ) finally caved an bought Davinci Resolve for linux and despite that I almost exclusively use Kdenlive instead every time I quickly want to make a video.
This of course is most likely a skill issue at my part but it really feels to me like kdenlive is getting in the way of my flow much less than davinci
I really tried to onboard on Davinci Resolve but it's just too complex for the basic editing I need. It does have brilliant color grading options that are not available in Kdenlive but I'm using premade LUTs for 99% of my edits and Kdenlive supports LUTs really well these days!
