There are lots of free and friendly frontends to FFmpeg. My choice would be VLC from videolan.org.
I think calling the criticism "hate" is an unfair dismissal of the comments as disingenuous. I'd expect that most posters feel neutral, and wanted to share their thoughts in a non-interested way.
(I know that VLC uses libavcodec from the FFmpeg project, rather than the frontend also known as FFmpeg.)

I've seen this repeated a few times in this thread, yet nobody is naming anything. Can you name a free and friendly tool that allows cropping and trimming videos like OP's? And by friendly we agree that I just have to open the tool, drag my rectangle and click render.
