I use Premiere too and I quite like it. However it is not really intuitive all the time, but there are nearly no limitations. You should try out the trial version, and if you are at school or a student, you can get the whole video editing suite (along with Photoshop, After Effects, Flash and others) for a ptetty low price (around 350€, depends on the country and where you buy it). This is only for non-commercial projects, but for commercial projects you can get the education version for 700-1000€).
