I have been involved with some short film production, and Final Cut Studio 2 on Mac OSX was very smooth to learn.
I started out with Windows machines, and am famililar with Sony's Vegas video editting suite which I also ascribe to for it's ease of use/learning. Check 'em out.
If you have a decent budget, there is nothing like a fully loaded Mac Pro with Final Cut Studio 2 and Aperture, with the 30 inch cinema display or equivalent.
