Depends on the software you use, and what you want to do with it. However, iMovie (part of the iLife suite) is more versatile than Windows Movie Maker, and has the option to export the video straight to DVD. Also (and I am comparing against Premiere Pro 2 here), things like titling are noticably easier.

Final Cut Pro (Apple's high end video editing software) is more difficult to use, but still makes things like dealing with video from multi-camera shoots easy.

Also, both Final Cut Pro and iMovie on my little 1.5Ghz Mac Mini dealt with Hi Definition video FAR more easily (and smoothly) than Premiere Pro on my 2Ghz PC. Admittedly, Premiere Pro running on my current 3.6 Ghz PC runs as smoothly as FCP does on the 1.5GHz Mac.
