I'm using Shotcut https://shotcut.org/ . No idea if it has the best UX or not. Sometimes it's great, sometimes not.
The files are saved as xml, so you can try to generate the file automatically, and let the program later handle all the nasty details of video encodings.
(I edited the xml files for very simple changes that are not possible in the UI, like changing the order of the tracks.)

Adobe Premiere is my favorite, but Final Cut is also good. https://www.openshot.org/ is an excellent open source option.
