It tries to be a slighly 'late' Fedora that just works, and it features compiled versions of many A/V programs that aren't available elsewhere - that's changing now, but, they were in front of the curve in many areas for awhile. I don't know Dan Sawyer so I can't speak to him, but there are many Linux video writers and many claiming to do 'professional video production' -- if he claims he's doing professional video on Kdenlive, I would like to see that, but until I do... If you're keen to try kdenlive, why don't you package it yourself?
