What would happen if we evaluate platforms based on their video editors? Would you rather use KDE and Kdenlive or Gnome and Pitivi?
But both run on either desktop environment. This is a rather silly question.

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.

Somewhere in the distance, a Gnome dev screams
Applications are platform agnostic. I run Kdenlive on Gnome and it works flawlessly.
why not just evaluate the apps themselves
Next on the list of pointlessly reductive comparisons: let's judge which is the best desktop environment solely on which has the superior clock app.
You jest, but I would love to read about that.
At least it is part of the desktop and not just an application using the same toolkit.
Blender
OpenShot? Shotcut? Flowblade? Cinelerra?
So what you are really asking is what platform developers provide the best applications (video editors edition)?
My biased answer here is KDE. But I haven't used video editors in years, so it's also an outdated opinion.
I feel like everybody got it so serious. I got it as a which one would you choose.
Last time I had to edit something I used olive. Didn't got in my way to get work done. So, I liked it. Olive uses QT instead if GTK. But I use gnome as my DE for some years. I try something else time to time but always get back to gnome.
So between these two, that there are many years I don't try. Just by the picture. I would choose piviti. Qt things use to have way more preferences visibe at once, qt apps looks more advanced tools. Some times this may add noise to get to the few important things/ui elements buttons to get the work done. But my experience with Olive and Mixx that are both QT were really good. Maybe I should try KDE again.
