[Richard Herd] “Like you said “…LEARN your tools…”
–all in good faith and humor, Rich”No offense taken. Exporting is just fine. Exporting without glitches is another matter.

Oh no Richard, they’re not finished. Not nearly. We’re going to find the next part of FCPX you really like, and we’re going to whisper in apple’s ear until they take it away from you. I’m personally looking to destroy key framing.
It’s all true, people who know nothing (hey as you point out Oliver Peters can’t export right? Who is that guy anyway? Amirite?) but all these stupid people are going to wreck your software out of ignorance, and the sheer glee of seeing the look of misery on your face. There are meetings about it at three blind mice HQ. I’ve attended a few. There’s headed notepaper titled “let’s get Richard”
We’re going to get you Richard.

What time is it? It’s Andy time baby. I would have thought that was obvious.

[Bernhard Grininger] “One interesting point of Disruptive Innovations is, that at their introduction they can’t compete with established premium products, but within a niche they evolve much more faster that the established competition that is already over-engineered.”
See also the economic theory postulated by Alexander Gerschenkron called “the advantage of backwardness.”

I think this quote makes a point opposite of the one you intend.
Henry Ford claimed to “know” what was best for customers. And then General Motors gave the customers what they wanted in the 20’s and very nearly killed FMC. It took many decades for Ford to recover from Henry’s wisdom, and it never came close to regaining its once commanding market share.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “We’re going to get you Richard.”
First, Yippee! (that probably means the shovels full of antagonism move on from me even if just for a little while? Thanks Richard. Nice to have a break.!)
Second, Let me state right up front that I truly appreciate Oliver’s many strengths. He holds the same kind of slot as a Contributing Editor for national level publications that I was lucky enough to hold down for a decade – and it’s not all that easy to demonstrate the kind of consistency and dependability to write on deadline for a national audience, so I totally appreciate his needs to understand things beyond the surface of the debate. Also, I know that anyone who espouses points of view in public sets themselves up to get hammered regularly by those who enjoy being the ONE to prove the “expert” wrong.
That said, I’m trying to think back to remember the last time Oliver posted anything about X other than some small thing he found that DIDN’T work to his taste.
Uncovering flaws so they can be addressed is one thing. But it’s also quite possible to “self-talk” oneself into a place where all you’re doing is holding a magnifying glass to a things flaws and the risk is that you stop noticing what works well about it.
I’ve used the tortured analogy of Cindy Crawfords dermatologist before. But If all one is doing is looking for blemishes – well, you’re risk overlooking a WHOLE bunch of the stuff that might be more representative of the subject at hand.
Just sayin’.

Actually, what I’ve been posting lately has nothing to do with taste, but rather things that simply DON’T work. I appreciate that I may be throwing more at the app than it can handle. That’s cool and the reason I post is to see if someone else has run into the same or to understand what I might be doing wrong.
I certainly agree that X isn’t for everyone and every type of project. Quite frankly my attitude towards it can be tracked as sort of a bell curve. I’m on the downside of that curve, having been hampered – not helped – by the app on several recent projects. I just don’t find it to be such a huge leap forward. Rather just different for the sake of being different. Sometimes that matches the expectation of the user, but sometimes it doesn’t.
I see this forum as precisely THE place for slings and arrows. It makes everyone rethink their positions, myself included. It’s a good antidote to group-think.

No. I think if you were honest about it–and that is the key word here–what you’d be trying to remember is the last time Oliver posted anything about X other than the issues that were potentially keeping him from making his deadlines. Why don’t you check that out? Of course, that’s only been in the last couple of weeks, but memories are what they are.

“Agreed. And, of course there is no evidence that he ever actually said it. True, his grandson quoted it once in a conference call, but that was after it became a popular aphorism. Apparently, you can’t find examples of usage before the beginning of the 21st Century. You’d think if such a plum actually existed it would have been in wide use during most of the 20th Century.
