I tried using iMovie on a G5 iMac in 2004, and although I managed to put together some kind of movie, it was quite painful. That version of iMovie took much more effort to learn than it should. And it wasn't at all fun to use. (For that reason I didn't invest in video recording equipment at that point.)

The new version of iMovie in iLife '08 promises to change video editing for beginners like me. I wait eagerly to try it out myself. (Also, I wait for my new iMac 24" to arrive any day now.)

Video editing shouldn't be hard, but it is. I have quite a few short video captures on my iBook, but it would be nice to be able to make a movie out of them. Currently I much prefer taking photos instead of recording videos. But iMovie could change this - perhaps I'll get interested and buy and HD-video capable camera as well. That would be something.
