I appreciate your astute input as you seem to know your video editors.
Me? I'm just trying to get an editing job done fast, quick and simple. 

For me, ffmpeg pretty much does everything in a single cut-&-paste command.
There's really zero learning curve as you just save the command in a file.

You cut-and-paste the command when you need it, so it's extremely simple.

My philosophy with freeware versus payware editing is that there is almost
never, if ever, payware that isn't already copied in the freeware tools.
PhotoShop => paintnet https://www.getpaint.net/download.html
PhotoShop => pinta https://pinta-project.com/pintaproject/pinta/releases 

However, I understand your point of view on the payware video editors.
If I really wanted a professional level of (complex) video editing, the
first program I'd look at is the highly professional Shotcut freeware.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotcut

What people need to keep in mind is that for every payware editor there is
almost always a cross platform open source freeware copy of that payware.

I already mentioned that you can get everything you need in Photoshop from
Paint.NET/Pinta, and you can get everything you want for video editing in
Shotcut freeware - which pretty much does everything an editor needs to do.
https://shotcut.org/

The way I see it is there's a learning curve in any complicated video
editor, so if you're going to spend all that time learning how it does
things, you may as well spend that time learning your favorite freeware.

The beauty of the Shotcut video editing freeware is there are many
tutorials, where there has never been payware that is better than this.
https://www.shotcut.org/tutorials/

If you know of something the video-editing payware does that the Shotcut
freeware doesn't do, I'd be surprised - but it might exist in the AI realm.

I'd go for Shotcut then, for free !  Like ..... command-lines are great, 
but it's not the 1970s any more.

And if it's for phone videos, are you sure there isn't something that 
comes standard in your phone that can't do the job intuitively and easily ?

.... and while you're dropping in your captions do a few other little 
easy tweaks at the same time (maybe fades).

I believe Handbrake supports burning captions into a video, and it's
free.
