I use sony vegas 6, easy to use and lets you do some decent stuff -- good if you're new to editing but if you're looking for something more professional, I can't help ya there...

If you're on a mac, FCE4 is the way to go.

yah but adobe is better I think... same story going on with me but im also using a program called avid ds which is pretty much the best program out there so it makes all the other programs look like shit... one exeption, final cut express is pretty dope. money wise its the best because yah its not as good as ds but it does tonnes of shit and for the price its insanely practical. its no wonder most small buisness movie makers are using it

if youre looking for something between wmm/imovie and final cut pro/premier pro maybe check out pinnacle. step up from WMM but still pretty simple.

yah well avid is a realy awsome program but its far from affordable for regular Joe. Im not sure what the price is but its realy made for production companies who will use it on many big money projects. I am lucky to have contacts and be able to use it for free at avid.

For Windows: I would choose Corel Video Studio, it's easy and simpel!
For mac: I would choose Final Cut Pro, that's a program to be proud about. It's really good and easy!
