No usually a lot of CPU power required is a bad sign... but the point it is the software isn't being built for Joe Bob, it targets studios. And it's nice to see what they use.

As for the UI, compared to Cinelerra's Premire's is quite pretty. Lol. But it's still good quality at what it does if you need high-end. If you don't then there's really no need for it and it's possible that you can get away with the built in video editor. (If your tool has one rather...)
