[Craig Seeman] “If you define the term “industry” you may be able to define the commonly used NLEs within it.”
May I suggest that you take a look at the name of the program: Television Broadcasting Production and Technology
If the name is accurate, I would suggest Avid and maybe Premiere.

Jeremy, skeumorphism is a particular design concept, not a physical law that underpins nature. You are trying to extend the concept beyond its rather artificial bounds, in a way that is just not useful and dilutes the term. All GUI skeumorphic design is representational, not all GUI representations are skeumorphic. Just because the FCP mixer has the layout that resembles the layout of a physical mixer does not make it skeumorphic. I suppose there is a tiny bit of room to argue about whether faders technically might fall into a skeumorphic concept, but since they provide an actual function in one of the most precise visual ways possible–dial, slider or numeric entry are really about all you can do to make this function happen–I would argue vehemently that it is not. There are many metaphors used in computer software. A file system with folders would be one. Those metaphors get extended visually so that in OS X, for instance, a folder is represented as a blue manila folder. Is that skeumorphism? I would say not. Does this visual metaphor have some ideas in common with skeumorphism? Yes. Is there a solid line where one becomes the other? Probably not. Again, it is an artificial design concept.

“Yes.

Well, now–all I was doin’ was just directly quotin’ that suit and how he was respondin’ to the questions they was askin’. I did it from memory, so maybe I didn’t get it word for word, but I think I got the gist of it, all right.

Ys, Bill. But usually they are noting it when talking to you. 😉

[Craig Seeman] “[Chris Harlan] “No. Its about the same.”
[Chris Harlan] “Again, about the same.”
Glad that I’m providing so much balance to the forum 😉
“Yes! We’ve got you on Avid, Aindreas on Apple, Herb on Autodesk and Lance on Adobe. I’d say it evens out marvelously.

[Craig Seeman] “[Chris Harlan] “You “can’t help but think” that because you hate the company so much. Its a passion with you.”
You mean like some people and Apple… but that’s OK?
“No. Its about the same.
[Craig Seeman] “[Chris Harlan] “what it means to people using the software is something that none of us can determine at this point.”
Unlike the predetermined conclusions the naysayers have about Apple?
“Again, about the same.
