What would happen if we evaluate platforms based on their video editors? Would you rather use KDE and Kdenlive or Gnome and Pitivi?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which desktop environment has the best video editor? KDE or Gnome?
You're asking the wrong question. Maybe you are new to all this Linux stuff, but you can run KDE software under GNOME and vice versa, this is extremely common. Pick which ever DE you like the most by itself, and independently pick the editing software you like the most.
Bro desktop environments don't have video editors. That's why they're desktop environments. KDE is a open source software community. They make a video editor called kdenlive. They also make a desktop environment called Plasma. These two things have nothing to do with each other.
I would not say “nothing to do with each other”. That said, it is not accurate to imply that the DE limits your choice of advices applications.
