Sony vegas has a trial that they offer...... i use vegas 9.... vegas 10 is choppy on my pc but they defiantly made leaps over the last few versions... i think sonyvegas 11 is out now.... very user friendly... but if you wanna go crazy on the effect which you can on vegas... you may want to look around... however... i havent looked at vegas 11...

Adobe After Effects? very powerful and wasn't difficult for me ;P

final cut pro is pretty good

If you are on OSX... FCP X is nice. I've edited in Premiere Pro CS5, FCP 7, and honestly the workflow on FCPX is awesome. Especially if you haven't been tainted with other NLE workflows yet.

FCP, Adobe Premiere is pro. For simple things try MagiX or Vegas.

It does depend on what you want to do with editing software. You can download the free trial of Camtasia Studio for 30 days and give that a try, I had a go with it, but ended up going back to WMM. It was just easier for me.

I started on Sony Vegas.

I personally am using Sony Vegas Pro 11. I plan on being one of the greats when it comes to directing music videos

I found Sony Vegas very easy to pick up. Easy controls.
