Adobe Premiere is good for a PC.
FCP (Final Cut Pro) is definitely the right route for macs.
Media 100, Avid, and Sony Vegas are all also used, but I haven't done anything with them myself.

iMovie (mac) and Windows Movie Maker (win XP*) are also good SIMPLE programs. If you know how to use them (easy, really), then you can do cool stuff, as long as you don't need complex options.
(*I assume Vista must have it too, though I have no idea, actually.)

If you want a freeware application (PC only), you could search for "Zwei-Stein" by the company "Thugs at Bay" (odd name, I know, but a good program). It's a nice, though not very intuitive editor, with a good number of features. It isn't the best, but it's free, and offers more than Windows Movie Maker. Google the name.

For Linux, LiVES (http://lives.sf.net/) is good (as far as I'm qualified to judge a video editor).

That looks quite decent, though not professinal-level, I don't think. It may very well match iMovie and Windows Movie Maker, though.
I'd like to test it, but I don't feel like dealing with figuring out how to compile for OSX or windows right now.
