I've tried both. I think for basic tasks the openshot ux is more refined and it's what I gravitate towards. Kdenlive seemed a bit more powerful but it was harder for me to understand how to use it. Unlike others I've never had any technical issues with openshot. I use the output preset profiles and it does great for me. Disclaimer though, my need are very basic.
