Niche doesn't mean only for enthusiasts. Windows shipped a movie maker for years that no one used, I'm sure iMovie is the same.

- simonh 13y agoOh boy was that bad. It couldn't write DVDs back when that was THE thing you wanted a video editor to do, and it only supported windows-only codecs. You couldn't even upload the videos to Youtube, when that became The thing you wanted to do with video, due to the proprietary-only codec support. This is one of the three main reasons I switched to Mac back in 2007. One was viruses, another was Time machine and the third was video as I had recently had kids. The closest thing to iMove on a PC back then cost IIRC about $1,000.
