I've already made several videos and, to be honest, I am really enjoying the experience. No crashes, of course. Very stable. Once you get the keybindings down - it is really quick to put together a simple video with fade in and outs, some cuts.
Of course, it has a lot of features, you can do animation, etc. But perhaps not too fancy - like I am not sure you could do some big cinematic effects. But should work for a decent video blog, for example. I will try doing things with it and update you.
Notice, btw, that Blender was a commercial product initially. And it has full-time developers today. No magic. Just hard professional work.
