iMovie Blows

People can complain all they want about the Microsoft platform being unstable, but I've been very unimpressed at the quality of some of the Mac apps I've used. Don't get me wrong, I think OSX is a superior operating system, but some of the Mac suite of apps are pretty pitiful. Are there bad applications for the PC? Yep. The difference is that there are far fewer apps out there for the mac so you don't have as many options.

I use iMovie from the included iLife '06 suite to do my simple video editing for home movies. On average, during the creation of a home movie, I will have the app either freeze or die 2 or 3 times over the course of 30 minutes. I've had similar luck with other i* applications like iPhoto. iTunes seems to be better of the suite as it rarely craps out.

I'm no mac guru, but help me out here - is this typical of mac applications?
