DaVinci Resolve is much better than any open source NLE. Generally, most closed source media production software is better than their open source counterparts except Blender. Blender is incredible and it gives me hope that other open source software can be just as successful in the media industry.

    DaVinci is better, but it also provides licence for life. So it's proprietary but have a good relationship with the customers.

    'Generally' is a really wide word. Better for what? For who? When? That's the all question...

    No. It's free to use for the standard version with most features available for free. There's a paid "studio" license which unlocks all the features. Neither have their source code available for the public.
