Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere?

I currently use Sony Vegas to edit my gaming videos which include montages and commentaries and it is all good, but I saw a program called Adobe Premiere. So I was wondering which one is better in terms of features, video quality ect. ?
 
I would recommend Adobe Premiere, for the simply reason that its cross compatible and by that I mean you can import work from any adobe products.
Adobe Premiere also has graphic acceleration for any nvidia card (yes you do have to play around with a file, but you'll find a tutorial on how to do it in seconds on youtube.) I believe Sony Vegas does have graphic acceleration in its latest editions but I found it to be a flimsy.
Also there are plenty of guides on YouTube that will give you the perfect presets for your exporting settings.
There are plenty of effects and fact that you can use After Effects and Photoshop and import the save file footage straight into premiere is amazing.
 
Premiere definitely trumps Vegas in terms of features and just overall feel and power. It's an amazing piece of video editing goodness that I would use if I had time to master its steep-ish learning curve ;)

Vegas is nice because its really straightforward and if you want to just do things like straightforward cuts and stick in transitions here and there and layer things it's a good editor.
 
Why not both? *Mexican Music Starts Playing*

No but seriously, seriously. If you are on a budget and can only get one (and you will really only need one) I'd recommend Adobe Premiere. People who are recommending Adobe Premiere above me are good enough reasons. Personally, I like it a lot what with the HUB of the other Programs. I wouldn't recommend Adobe Photoshop since there are free Photoshop programs out there but Adobe After Effects is worth looking into. Like it has been stated the learning curve can be a little steep but once you work your way around Premiere everything will be second nature. Just watch some tutorials on YouTube. Actually today I'm doing more work with implementing transitions and effects and refining some editing and its easy to sink in.
