Footage selection.
Choosing the best footage there is for each edit I feel is even more critical in making a video better and is the core of good editing. Of couse this is not to say timing and effects aren't important, but they seem secondary to being able to choose the best scenes there is during editing.

When one makes a video, there will be editing, regardless; this does not guarantee effects. The only reason one should use effects is to enhance the concept at hand, simple as that. If effects aren't necessary to get your point across, why bother?
