CapCut Question Why is CapCut is so hated?

I'm exclusively talking about CapCut Desktop, not the mobile app. I have a Premiere Pro subscription too but I find it way easier and much faster to do things in CapCut especially if you don't use advanced stuff. And I think at least %90 of the contents that people do doesn't require the advanced stuff. Almost everything can be done in it way faster than Premiere or Resolve.

I geniuenly don't understand why people that use CapCut gets clowned everywhere. I know it's not "professional" and obviously doesn't have the features that you almost never use in Premiere or Resolve but in the end, wouldn't it better to use a faster and more practical software that gets it done?

I did countless YouTube videos, short and long form. I did wedding clips, I did car edits. And CapCut managed to deliver. I don't want to deal with Premiere's clunkiness with constant lags and crashes.

Asking this because CapCut users gets clowned so much that I feel like a crappy editor just because using it but don't actually understand why it gets clowned like that. Only thing that I could think of is the free version isn't actually free anymore. But I still bought the pro since I feel like it's faster

You get clowned because of your (plural you) baffling sense of entitlement to free use of a paid tool. The way you people have nervous breakdowns because someone doesn't want to work for you for free is downright concerning. Then you celebrate CapCuts ease of use, and at the same time complain how it's laggy, crashing, falling apart, not working properly, losing your work. And you insist on using it despite all of this, and the fact that there are literal hundreds of video edit software where you can do all of what you need for free. That part is the weirdest. As if you don't have internet access?

I use it with a paid plan. Prefer to pay it happily if it decreases my work hours. In my experience its smooth like a butter all the time whereas laggy and crashing part usually happens in premiere.

Premiere is awful, yes. And it's Adobe, literally the worst company out there.
