Lightworks is a great offline tool for a film editor who wants to just start cutting without learning how to use a computer with too many menus.
But outside of features the needs of tv editing are more effects in the suite driven which is where avid rules until FCP with its ability to use after effects plugins.
The avid approach has proven very resistant to competition as whilst it isn't a smoke or a ds its simple enough to use with enough power to get most things done to a high level of quality.
Mc7 is a great step forward in my opinion and is starting to address the shortcomings of its slightly old fashioned interface. Direct manipulation of every object in a timeline is where it's heading and I believe Ds like node comping is clearly in its future.
