For simple cutting & slicing I honestly just write ffmpeg oneliners.

+1 fo ffmpeg and not having to install another tool for a single task.

I do not edit videos, I just record with obs-studio and cut out unneeded parts. ffmpeg does that, it does so fast and without any problems + it also works for converting videos to another codec.

FFMPEG is nice when you do something like ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:01:00 -t 00:03:00 out.mp4 and the result is almost instant as there's no re-encoding.

FYI - you only need -c copy and do not need to specify acodec and vcodec, if both of them are going to be copy anyway.
