I'm also a Vegas user...have been since Vegas Video 3.0. Sometimes an NLE just clicks with someone...and such was the case with Vegas for me after trying many of them, and I never looked back. I'm sure the others are great, especially now, but it's been a long time since I've used anything else. I'm simply a hobbyist, but always like to have adequate tools, especially with software, so I use the full version of the product, and always end up upgrading when new versions are released.
Color correction is good, audio is stellar, love the easy scopes, envelopes and effects chains are extremely flexible and make sense to me (which is important). Even has 5.1 mixing capabilities and a nice Dolby Digital 5.1 (among other profiles) encoder. I don't use the less expensive "Movie Studio" version of the product, but have recommended it to a couple of other hobbyists who have really liked it, so I'm sure it is a good product as well, and is only slightly more than a hundred bucks for the HD capable version, sans DD encoding and some other "pro" features. Not bad.
I also use some music generation software from Sony Creative Software, including Cinescore and Acid Pro. Nice stuff, very easy to use, and integrates well with Vegas. DVD authoring is very powerful. This suite does everything I need, pretty much. Now I just need to get an HDDVD burner, and maybe a little talent.
