I actually think the opposite.
I too have used iMovie since it was first released.
I have made many, many movies in all version.
The latest version is great, it is easy to use and so much quicker to produce a movie. It is easy to select the clips you need, there is no rendering required and it is better integrated with other apps and the internet.

I agree with that for the most part, but the lack of control over audio tracks, and for me, the lack of a coherent timeline, makes iMovie 6 more viable for some projects. I'm also seeing degraded quality of video from v9 which offsets a number of the added features which make it rather pleasing to work with. v9 is more fun to use, but more frustrating to work with! Not least because it seems prone to lock projects, preventing additional transitions or titles to be used, or even sharing options to be selected. It reminds me of iMovie 2!

Can iMovie only output files in 540p or HD? I was trying to encode and trim some files with iMovie last month, only getting those options, and if so, iMovie is almost completely worthless to me. Not being able to work with and output native resolution is disgusting to what it does to the video file.

What did you try? Do this:

Share -> Export Using Quicktime -> Options

Set it to whatever size you want.
