Honestly IMO it's not even a comparison whatsoever. Kdenlive cannot be used professionally for any real work, it will just crash on you before you even find out it can't even do what you want. I've tried it off and on for many years and it's always a massive disappointment compared to pro solutions.

    In the past 5 years stability has improved significantly, like I haven't had a crash in the past year of casual use. ymmv but I would recommend it to new users at this point.

    I had to switch from kdenlive to DaVinci Resolve recently and it breaks my heart. I'm by no means a professional, but I am a heavy user who is frequently sifting throughout footage. Unfortunately, crashes are still very common for a power user. After encountering a memory corruption bug for the second time that resulted in lost project work (despite saving to disk!!!), I had to switch to something better.

    it will just crash on you before you even find out

    Older versions may have had issues with that, but I haven't encountered any crashing in over 2 years. (And I i do 6 youtube videos per month with it)
