[Aindreas Gallagher] “I think spatial is a thing – and I think there is an issue with its total absence in the database tag query system.”
I agree and think you raise some very interesting points. Cognitive science identifies visual thinking and verbal thinking as two distinct learning styles.
My hunch is verbal thinkers are most comfortable with FCPX’s tag and database driven organization tools; which use words and lists as the main UI. I know for me personally, I’m a spatial/visual type. When I’m organizing, I’m not thinking about words, even if the content has words in it. I use color-coding and often create piles on the timeline or in bins. I may label those piles but performing and knowing spatial placement is a big part of my organizing scheme. I agree there is a kinesthetic memory effect which is a value tool for editors who work that way.
BTW, I’m not saying one way is better than the other. I really do believe preference comes down to brain wiring. I think FCPX’s tagging/organization tools are very innovative and powerful. Just the other day I was wishing for tagging in Premiere. But to your point, I think spatial organizing is very important as well. I would love to see FCPX have better tool for this, both in the event manager and in the timeline.

[Chris Kenny] “FCP X’s main timecode display (which is clearly designed to look a bit like a sixteen segment display under glass, though if you pay attention you’ll notice it renders some numbers in ways an actual segmented display can’t) is ‘retro chic’.
Not using modern font rendering algorithms for text in bins and dialogs because you’ve never updated your software to do so is just ‘legacy’.”
Yeah, because everyone knows that a main timecode display rendered as skeumorphic sixteen-segment lights under glass is way more important than something like out-of-sync indicators in a drab, aliased font.

[Chris Harlan] “Drivel. But for what its worth, I have also noticed that a number of X users seem unable to see the sugary, sparkly, diabetes-inducing, unicorn-frolicing, my-little-pony-like UI of X for what it is either.”
LOL, so true!

[Jim Giberti] “At the heart of it all, we produce creative products and as such, our creative environments and interfaces can have profound impact on our work. I say, take a “whatever makes you happy while you create” approach to the design of all things.”
Jim, on this we agree!

[Oliver Peters] “And for another POV from a designer:”
Flat and minimal is the new UI black. It makes me happy. Here’s a good article:

Die skeumorphism, die.

[Oliver Peters] “There is the dictionary, of course. 😉

Yep, it’s about material, not function.

[Jeremy Garchow] “A touch based analog mixer in a digital space, at least in my opinion, is skeumorphed, as much as it hurts.”
I think you’re confused about the meaning of skeumorphism in a digital graphic UI. Let me help:
