haha, thanks 🙂
The way certain discussions are going here “x factor” comes to my mind. As a lot feel that someone chooses to work with an NLE despite the fact it can’t do this or that. So why work with it… Must be the x factor 🙂

[Scott Witthaus] “In my mind, as I have stated, the debate about FCPX is over, if there was ever was one.”
This is true. But I realize that often in life, like this forum, names do not accurately reflect content. For my part, I have labeled this forum “Which NLE: the Debate” in my head for a year or so now as that is the most empirically accurate term I can find at this time. But if we have to throw a bone to those who want to keep FCPX in the name perhaps, “Used to be called ‘FCPX or not: the debate'” or even better, “FCPX debate: the history.” [Documentary approach]
Or since there is so much diversity of opinion on what to call this forum what about: “Anything but FCPX,” “Crazy Stupid FCPX debates,” or “FCPX: the Disagreement.” [Narrative Fiction approach]
Personally, since we probably won’t end up with an accurate forum title, I would vote we choose as entertaining a name as possible.
How about “Luddite Dinosaurs versus Editing Toy Fanboys”? …I mean, if you really want a debate forum.

[James Culbertson] “How about “Luddite Dinosaurs versus Editing Toy Fanboys”? …I mean, if you really want a debate forum.”
I think we’re getting warm. LOL

Haha, well it does all I need it to do, does that count?

Just think, in 5 years (long after AVID and Adobe are gone) when Bare Bones Software releases BBEditVideo and FCPX editors scream about what a toy it is, while all the kids think it is the new best thing, you won’t have to change the name of the forum again.

[James Culbertson] “How about “Luddite Dinosaurs versus Editing Toy Fanboys”? “
That one is growing on me although I’d make it:
“Luddite Dinosaurs versus Kool Aid Drinking Editing Toy Fanboys”
or maybe just
“Which Kool Aid?: The Debate”
of just:
“The Blue Pill or the Red Pill: The Debate”
lol

[Scott Witthaus] “Hell, we could have a Avid or Not or Premiere or Not forum.”
Bingo. To whom does the imho tiredly populistic, reactionary and, if anything, inflammatory and unnecessary tenor of the title actually make any real sense anymore? At best giving fuel to the knuckleheads that wander in every so often pointing to the fact that “FCP X is the only NLE with a “OR NOT” forum! Ha!” and, as many have pointed out already, doesn’t even boast a single thread that feeds into the title to begin with. I don’t see how you can get any more pointless.
How the “or not” debate in any way even FCP X specific as of about two years ago?? That is, to the point that it actually needs its own forum?? 😀 What’s next? “Color Keyframes or Not: The Debate“? “Master Audio Fader or Not : The Debate“? “Crunchy or Creamy: The Debate“? All bear equal relevance.
Wait… we’ll just make a “FCP X or Not Forum Debate or Not: The Debate” forum debate!! Since that is clearly the biggest time-wasting debate of them all. Talk about record hits!
The title should have never been anything more than a THREAD title. Period. Kill it and consolidate it with the “Techniques” forum. Done.
