Well Apple does sell 3 levels of video apps. They must have simply realized that the majority of the people currently using iMovie would be best served by a simpler product. The people not better served by the simpler product are probably intended to be FCE customers.
I'm 65 years old and I guess that I get a little paranoid when I see " history repeat itself " How they handled Appleworks v.s. Pages is very similar to what SEEMS to be going on with Imovie HD and Final Cut Pro / Express, that is, forcing us to move over to a paid for application instead of a free one by "dumbing down the free one. "
I suppose there is nothing wrong with that business model except that it's getting very close to what microsoft has done for years. Frankly Steve ....I liked it better when microsoft copied us instead of us copying them, that's all. This is starting to look like " a race to the bottom " and I don't think that is where Apple belongs.

Much weirdness.
After a shut down and reboot, Garageband is starting up nicely.
Problem gone!
