I do know how to use it, and it’s still annoying from time to time, and there are certain projects for which tracks are simply better.

How many versions did it take for Premiere to get any sort of broad acceptance?

There’s nothing we can’t argue about on the FCPX COW Forum

It has broad acceptance?

Broken record as usual.
Yes indeed, Lance (-:

Agreed. And how many for legacy FCP?
Anyone who thinks it’s “too late” for FCPX and is now using Premier has already provided the proof for the self-defeating argument. A couple years ago fewer people were using Premier seriously than are probably using FCPX now. Adobe has made some great progress and deserves a loyal following- but it’s taken a while to get here.

Well, I certainly don’t, but my point – half in jest – was this. The tone of ‘waiting for the next version’, tends to imply the belief that somehow Apple will depart from the course it has set with X. (And I don’t mean that is exactly what Jeremy meant.) I really doubt that would happen, because it would imply they accepted that they made a mistake. Regardless of whether you think they did or didn’t – I don’t believe that they believe that. Making such a change would simply not be Apple.
Therefore, X.1 is going to be more of the same, hopefully with better performance and some of the gaps filled in. If you like the FCP 7 interface/interaction model, nothing is going to get you to move to X or X.1. It’s simply a different beast and that won’t change.
Likewise, I don’t see anything they are likely to do in this next version – given the course I believe they are on – that’s going to seriously bring the other editors on board, in a situation like Jeremy described. That is, where a small percentage have adopted X and they rest haven’t.
Of course, most of you may disagree.

I agree with much of that. Though I’m a bit less pessimistic in regards to Legacy editors moving to X. All indications are there’s a large market still waiting on be captured. Those people are holding on for any number of reasons- money, time investment, personal preference…
A percentage will- how high that percentage is will depend on a bunch of factors.

“I do know how to use it, and it’s still annoying from time to time, and there are certain projects for which tracks are simply better.”And… I agree. I guess that part of my response earlier could be read as a putdown, and it really wasn’t. I’m not a blind FCPX fan boy, I curse at the computer equally in all NLE’s 🙂
What I meant was you have to have the time to learn how to use it, something in short supply when you’re on 3 gigs at once with deadlines/clients hanging over you.

Of course, Premiere was not a replacement by Adobe for their own very popular NLE that was in use my tens of thousands of editors.
