…”The quality of speed control in FCP doesn’t meet my requirements…”
Not trying to speak for Dave,
but I think he may be speaking for a lot of us;
he knows what incredible leaps have been made in editing systems
from the way, until quite recently, it used to be.
It is hard to watch people who somehow expect everything ‘now’,
complain about what for most of us is an unheard of level of functionality
in our NLE’s…just a guess.
