Apple has always put the user first when it comes to designing operating systems, building environments that help you in your everyday computing life rather than making you work around their limitations.

In short, iMovie 09 makes it easy to do very complicated things, and complicated to do very easy things.
I pretty much agree with everything in this review. I too find the ‘word wrap’ style timeline to be confusing, but overall I’m really impressed with the new iMovie.
