Kino is very simplistic.  I have used it before.  Usually cored when I was 
trying to do something useful.  Used it mostly as a front end for my video 
capture card.

Cinelera is free. It has has a real sharp learning curve.  (i.e. hard.)

I have not tried MainActor.  It is closed source and not free, but 
supposed to be good.

There are a few others out there.  Try searching on Freshmeat.net.
