How does this compare to shotcut, because most video editors are just unintuitive unless you know the layout of timeframes and the separate frame windows. Why cant we have a single film strip where we can trim and splice videos with ease.

Both are horrible and will crash and you will never finish your project. Just use Resolve and get work done.

Any good open source video editor for Windows? Top google results include https://www.openshot.org/ and https://shotcut.org/ , but both don't have obvious links to the code repositories and it took me a while to find them which is often not a good sign.

No, they are all years behind. Resolve is free, save your time and use what is used by pros around the globe.

kdenlive is cross platform, provides a windows build and is a very competent video editor. https://kdenlive.org/en/

It's the best one that I've found for Windows, despite the somewhat infrequent crashes.

I’m pretty happy with kdenlive, too.

Adding one datapoint here: I made several projects with Shotcut and am glad it exists, but I had to learn to expect a crash and work defensively; That's how often it happened. The most usual crash was while moving clips around, the application died and the window closed, work lost.

have you tested kdenlive recently? it used to get a lot of flack back when but over the last year it has improved and lots and lots of bug fixes

Hitting Ctrl+S every few minutes has basically become a compulsive behavior for me at this point, for any program (not just video editors).
