I think that calling any program a "killer" over another is factually incorrect, because there are too many areas of improvement that can be made and added so it's more like a constant race rather than someone always staying on top. There's no doubt in my mind though, that HitFilm offers the widest amounts of features in a single NLE/VFX program for the price that you're paying for Pro, but again, I haven't seen everything that's out there.

Sure, you can get away with some stuff, but creating masks and really digging deeper into color is much faster in my opinion with DaVinci. I don't like HitFilm's color system, so I'm using DaVinci because I prefer the node system. Well, it's a HitFilm killer if it's got all the features you need in one place.
