I don’t think shake makes a very good editor (like comparing photoshop & illustrator) You probably will need both. I’m not sure if Final Cut Express supports Conduit but if it does it would give a reasonable compromise to shake in an editing environment. Could work out a bit cheaper too. http://www.dvgarage.com/pgroup/pgroup.php?pgroup=comp Conduit live also works as a standalone and with photoshop, motion & after effects

Comparing apples with oranges.
Shake is a compositing software, FCE is an editing software.

im just wondering that final cut express (pro is too expensive) has that shake does not.

An audio mixer, a capture tool, a master to tape function, the ability of realtime playback for multiple video and audio tracks and a few other quite normal NLE features you don’t need in a compositing program.
