Is FCPX the Othello of NLEs?

Software is one of the few things we buy that is broken and incomplete when we purchase it. Then we pay again for the privilege to have it fixed, only to have more things broken in the process. 😉

True.
That’s why it always bothers me a little bit when I’ve boarded a plane and I’m sitting at the gate, and the pilot announces that he’s going to shut the power down then bring it back up to try to clear up a problem.
As he’s rebooting the plane, I picture Clippy popping up on his HUD. “It look’s like you’re trying to take off from JFK.”
I wonder how many levels of undo Boeing and Airbus have…

I was on an ICC high-speed train in Germany a few years ago. They tried to reboot the train to fix an air-conditioning problem. No-Go. Blue screen of death, I presume. We were stranded at that station until the next ICC train came along. Then it was standing room only on that train for the last leg of the trip. So you aren’t that far off.

Not literally, I hope.
As annoying a glitch in my software is, I’d rather have my NLE fail than my car.
