In terms of history, looks like Shotcut had Windows support a few year before Kdenlive, for one. Also the main developer of Shotcut was one of the co-creators of MLT, which is the multimedia framework behind both Shotcut and Kdenlive. As for features I haven't used Kdenlive enough to compare, since Shotcut works fine for me (never had any crashes, though this was using the Windows version so ymmv)
