iMovie = i'M Frustrated

So, here's the deal. I love my Mac I have at home. Because I already had just about everything with the PC before I switched to the dark side and Apple's evil empire, I went with the Mac Mini and things are great. I have lots of built-in features with the Mac that my PC could never hope to match. Here's my problem with Mac (besides the surprisingly political commercial-imitating smear ad campaign starring Justin Long and that geeky guy that was on Flight of the Conchords once): every program has a steep learning curve, and iMovie is no different. It's never as simple as every other movie-making/editing program out there, such as Windows Movie Maker or Avid or Adobe Premiere. Apple has to make every program a total pain to use and be different, which goes against one of their advertising ploys, claiming that Macs are "so intuitive". I long for the days of simple timelines and easy-to-insert effects. Looks like those days are gone. I better get with the times.
