Looks fairly interesting for some of my more casual use, I might give it a download.
Any big gotchas that you have come across or any tricks using it (special plugins, etc)?

Like most (all?) of the Linux video editors you have the occasional crash. It happens way less than Openshot or Pitivi but it's still present. I don't know if it also happens on Windows or OSX.
You can version control your edits and do text operations since it's a MLT file so that helps.
Not really my thing but you can insert HTML5 overlays and animations. There's a demo on the youtube channel but it's quite "verbose" for most users.
GPU accelerated filters are really fast and I have no problems working with 1080p 15GB+ files. But that's nothing compared to what professionals use so I can't really comment on that.

#5Wish there was a Web app to edit video. Upload to S3 and away I would go creating (jump cut) edits which would be fed to ffmpeg to dice up.

That sounds like an incredibly wasteful way of editing. Why would you want to use a web app?

youtube can do this. kaltura has something, too. nice for kids and building joke videos or maybe for building your next presentation.
however, pro video files are BIG, and upload will take longer than actual editing process with usual upload rates.
More important: nobody wants to have a bloated webapp that runs in an already bloated web browser (all of them are!) and eats all your cpu power just by executing some cool javascript gui framework - you need every bit of performance for rendering.

#9Or if you want something that works now, you can use Blender, which has a very full featured video editor built in to it, and has had for a long time.

#10 > Leap Motion for jog and shuttle control.
I love this idea. I added the ability to scrub through the history of my paint app [1]. The circle gesture provides the direction, size, and speed which can be used to create a very expressive scrubbing tool. Fast tight circle scrub really fast and large slow circles scrub really slow with high precision. Can't wait to check out their implementation.
