I just cant stand Premiere, just the Fact alone that you cant Zoom in the Viewer with the Mouseweel and a bunch of other things about it bother me so much, that i cant use it. I can see, why some People like it, if you are mainly doing actual Cut Work, as in cutting together an Hour of Short Clips for a Short Film or something, but its Certainly not for me, and what i do.

Resolve is a weird one for me. Performance for Raw Footage and the Color Tools are just so good. Noise Reduction however is completely unuesable for me right now on my current hardware, even on 1080p. You need some Insane Hardware for it, if you want to really use it to its full potential. Crashes a lot, if i try to do some weird stuff with it. What i really hate about it, that UI color cant be Changed and UI also seems a bit stiff (i guess i am pretty spoiled from Blender and Adobe AE in terms of UI customisation, but its actually pretty bad in Resolve, even Premiere does that better...). Also dont understand, why they wont let you change Global Presets and just assume you want to work with 24fps for some Reason, and have you change that every time you open up a new project.

I personally just like AE the Most still, even if its slower sometimes by a lot. Sure, for RAW Footage i will for sure use Resolve, but AE just feels way more stable and allows for better control for anything beyond Basic Video Editing, which Resolve lacks in some Places. Dont know, maybe i just need to get used to it a bit more, but i dont know if i will ever get over that 24fps/ lack of export Preset BS they have going on there, combined with the (for my taste) way too dark UI (at least make it High contrast then, if you for some reason lock it at that kind of dark. i just find dark text and very slim lines on Dark Background really hard to look at). Allready annoys me, bevore i even start to actually work on something. So as i said, for now i still prefer AE by quite a bit, but can see why a lot of people switch to Resolve. Especially for those who are coming from other Video Editing software. I am just used to Software that is more targeted towards Animation, and those usually allow you to set keyframes for the weirdest stuff and do basically whatever you want. I mean Resolve at least has a Node Editor, which helps a lot with that, but i still need to learn how to use it fully, as its quite a bit different from the Blender one, which i am very used to.
We will see, maybe my opinion changes somewhat, when i use Resolve for a while or upgrade my hardware Eventually.
