How good is kdenlive these days? (sh.itjust.works)

When i try to find reviews or people talking about Kdenlive on places like YouTube, I mostly find things that are 2-5 years old at this point and just seem relatively outdated. Does it have an active community of users? Is it worth using in 2025? I think it seems really promising but i haven't given it a shot yet.

Edit: up to this point I've been a user of premier pro and more recently DaVinci resolve

Another edit for further context: I wouldn't say I'm a "professional editor" but I'm not just making simple cuts either. I make video essays on YouTube and my style is pretty edit heavy. Lots of text, sometimes I'll have like 10 things on screen at once, etc

It's pretty darn capable in my opinion. I've been using it to make a few different types of videos, and as you might say, the *shit just works"!

One thing I've done with it is create 5+ hour compilation videos. It handles very large projects with ease.
