That’s an interesting perspective. The definition of fragmentation can be blurry, because I wouldn’t consider software like gimp, krita and darktable to be a case of fragmentation, because they serve explicitly different use cases, but I would consider darktable and rawtherapee to be, since they fall into the same one.
The point I was trying to make was that, if there was only one foss video editor, perhaps the developers from cinelerra, pitivi, kdenlive, etc wouldn’t all contribute to it, and the result wouldn’t be the sum of efforts applied to each software.
By the way, perhaps video editing is more complex than other software to develop, and the lack of a big organization behind it makes things more difficult)
