Used Premiere, Final Cut and Avid at Uni. Premiere is by far the easiest to use, not in a stupid way, just the interface is nice and there's plenty of support online. It's useful to have knowledge of CC as well in case you end up using PS or AE.

Avid's crap. Or, the interface is. Couldn't deal with it. Even after training from editors I couldn't warm to it.

Didn't use Final Cut much, but it seemed ok.

DaVinci Resolve recently added a load of non-linear tools and went free. It's the one that I've been recommended now that I don't get CC for free. It's kind of worth having anyway to learn grading techniques.

Premiere's got it's problems but it's my favourite. I'm looking for work at the moment and 90% of jobs require Premiere (and CC) knowledge, some ask for Avid if you look at broadcast and only a few asked for Final Cut.

That's pretty much a reflection of the market now.

Avid is used in professional broadcast, but yes it is horrible. It used to have an advantage for multi camera editing but now Premier does that too.

Final cut is used more for films, or art stuff, so you won't see it in as many job ads.
