It's best for editors that are beginning their career due to the easy way to learn this. However, you have to buy the license to be able to use and learn all of these great features. I can't seem to find scenarios where it would not be appropriate, this is an excellent, easy tool to work with.

iMovie is a great tool for Mac users and provides a lot of simple drag/drop elements with video editing. However, it is incredibly restrictive if you want to customize your video. With Lightworks, I can easily add text on a screen, captions, transitions, change the framerate and more. No matter the video project, I have been able to find a solution using Lightworks.
