Davinci Resolve is professional (similar level as Adobe and Final Cut Pro) and free as in different business model. The company Black Magic makes and sells expensive cameras. I think the game they play to get one to pay the $400 is to limit the number of codex they support on Linux for the free version. If the program understands your video file, it can do everything. If the Linux version doesn't work, then it probably will work on Windows which the free one has more codexes.
There are more bells and whistles than you will ever dive into. I often have to use YouTube to understand how to get a particular task done. I would call the learning curve medium and the upper limit professional video editing. But there will always be a tutorial, that's the focus of some people who use the software. In the same program I also do all my sound editing. I was able to increase the level of a particular singer who sung quietly relative to the rest. It also does normalization, so all the sound tracks reach the same level.
